Light is chair of the prize committee this year, and Pierre Mounier-Kuhn joins
the committee to replace Paul Ceruzzi. Tom Misa is now in his final year on the
panel. Thanks to all of them for their service to SIGCIS. Jen has told me that
to renominate a book submitted last year you or your publisher need send only
ONE additional copy, to Pierre Mounier-Kuhn as the new committee member.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
