From: Bob Jacobson (cyberoid@hitl.washington.edu) Subject: National Academy of Sciences (U.S.) reportedly to hold meeting Date: Fri, 10 Jan 1992 03:14:36 GMT Organization: HIT Lab, Seattle WA. It's been reported by D.C. sources that the National Academy of Sciences, the highest authority in the U.S. on federal support for scientific research, will hold a meeting on the topic of virtual worlds technology on Tuesday, January 14, 1992. If this is so, would someone with the NAS or someone invited to attend the event inform the participants of this newsgroup regarding this meeting? It would be very unfortunate for a meeting of this potential magnitude to occur without widespread awareness that it is taking place. Thanks. Bob Jacobson Moderator
