> The American Council of Learned Societies has launched a
> Commission on Cyberinfrastructure and the Humanities chaired
> by John Unsworth of the University of Illinois at
> Urbana-Champaign. I think that this is going to be a very
> important initiative which will help the humanities
> disciplines to engage many of the same issues that the
> National Science Foundation committe chaired by Dan Atkins
> framed for the sciences in its report on Cyberinfrastructure
> last year. There is now material on the web listing the
> members of the Commission, the charge and plan of action, and
> information about a mailing list for Commission
> announcements. Dan Atkins and I are both serving as advisors
> to the Commission (among others).

> The ACLS information is at

> http://www.acls.org/cyberinfrastructure/cyber.htm
>
> Note that the Commission will be holding a series of public
> hearings in the coming months; these are listed as part of
> the "Charge" discussion on the web site.
