I am very much looking forward to seeing you in Gothenburg soon. Kuniko Fujita ISA-RC21 President June 20, 2010 Letter from the newsletter-editor Dear readers, Just a short message from your editor. I have been editing the newsletter for the last four years. I was happy to do this since I do think that a newsletter can still have some use (listing conference programs, archiving RC events, et cetera), even in times of listserv‘s and other new communications means. In the long run, however, I do think, that RC-21 (well, all RC‘s) should re-consider the function of a newsletter, if any. Par- ticularly, when our (new!) RC-21 website takes over more and more of the newsletter‘s role. Therefore, I am glad to continue to serve at the RC-21 board, but not as your newsletter editor anymore. Regards, Jan Willem Duyvendak
