[SIGCIS-Members] Shiva/Gawker, also AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH

[Christine Finn]

Yes, I agree that what is immediately useful is a specialist statement,
rather than something publicly accessible.

I suggest those with the background know-how pull a draft together and, if
it helps, I can run through it, and ask salient questions for the narrative
where appropriate. Without your expert knowledge of the case, and it's
history, I am a bit player, as it were!
