[tei-council] ESF Proposal

[Lou Burnard]

I tend to agree with James's view here, and have tried in selecting 
names to minimize the number of "usual suspects", while at the same time 
ensuring that we can have an informed discussion about the content of 
P5.  But it's not easy!

HELP HELP
In order to submit the bid, I also need to propose some referees

"Details of *3 international experts* who could referee this proposal, 
providing the following information for each person:
a) specific area(s) of expertise and related keywords
b) full contact details (email is required), including personal web-page 
if available.
The ESF may approach 1 of these suggested experts.
Proposed participants in a workshop as well as Standing Committee 
members should not be listed as potential referees."

Suggestions please!

I'm now wondering whether John U. would not be better as a reviewer than 
a participant, especially since Arianna reminds me that paying his 
expenses from the ESF budget may be problematic.

I'll big up the I18n a bit in the abstract./
