Sorry, hadn't realised the motion was still on the table. Since you put
forward the suggestion a while ago and no-one has demurred, I think we
should take the silence as assent and ask you to go ahead with the
invitation and to add STS to the table. Perhaps you could give it half
a day so that any last-minute dissenters have the chance to speak.
The whole 'allied/related organisations' issue is indeed food for
thought, and grist to our mill.
