NKS NewsLetter 2 / April 2005

 


Introduction

 

This is the second electronic newsletter from NKS. Such newsletters are published biannually, prior to the regular NKS Board meetings in May and November. The newsletters are short, normally without attachments of any kind, and the object is to give links to the NKS homepage for more information on new reports, invitations to seminars and similar events. The material referred to can be downloaded free of charge by the reader.

 

The newsletters are sent to everyone on the NKS address list, including everyone who has requested information on current NKS events and reports. Anyone not already on this list can be added free of charge by contacting nks@nks.org.

 

In addition to the biannual newsletters, brief newsflashes will be distributed as soon as a new report has appeared or when new information is available on seminars etc. These newsflashes will initially be distributed to the same readers as the newsletters.
