Addressing: Guardian Society 1 Dec 04

Several journalists have taken an interest in my research, especially the GI Policy aspects. I was quoted in the Economist of 27 Nov (page 35 UK edition) in an article "Where is everybody?" and in the following week's Wednesday "Society" section of the Guardian an "Inside View" column in my name was published in the eGovLocal series - for councillors to write about their 'bee in bonnet'.

The issues covered here will be pursued in other forums, notably the Association for Geographic Information (AGI), which meets on 15 Dec to discuss what advise it should give on funding the completion of the National Land & Property Gazetteer (NLPG)
