michael,
sorry to have taken so long to reply properly to your last
message.  term has really gotten on top of me.  had to write
four lectures from scratch last week and five for this (frankly
i thought four was the absolute limit, but this has clearly
become an endurance test...)

anyway,  the wg includes the following:

Daniel Greenstein, Modern History Dept, Glasgow University, Glasgow, G12 8QQ

Peter Denley, Queen Mary and Westfield College, Hampstead Campus,
  Kidderpore Ave, London, NW3 7ST

Kevin Schurer, Cambridge Group for the History of Population and
 Social Studies, 27 Trumpington Street,  Cambridge CB2 1QA

Donald Spaeth, Centre for Teaching in Computing and History = CTICH,
Glasgow University, Glasgow, G12 8QQ

That makes up the Brit contingent with the possible exception
of Peter Wakelin who said he would look at Port books.  He has recently
changed jobs and i haven't yet got his address (lou is particularly
keen to see him involved in wg)

Hans-Jorgens Marker, Danish Data Archive, Odense University,
Campusweg, 55, 5230 Odense M

Caroline Broulet, IRHT, 40 Avenue D'iena, 75116, Paris, France

Jan Oldervoll, ISV, University of Tromso, Boks,  1040, 9001, Tromso, Norway

Manfred Thaller (whose address you surely must have) but if not, I use
Max Planck Institut fur Geschichte, Gottingen, Germany

Ingo Kropac, Forschungsinstitut fur Historische Grundwissenschafte
Universite de Graz, Heinrichstrasse 26-III, 8010 Graz, Austria

I have not gotten the letter (but than haven't checked Oxford post in
some weeks, so if it went there I won't have seen it), but did get
a copy of the rules for WGs.  Have sent this letter along with the
application which I submitted to the TEI in Sept to members of the WG
and outlined for them a plan of action very much along the lines suggested
through the guidelines for wgs and through discussion with lou.

with any luck, all will agree to submit draft reports on TEI guidelines
with a view to their particular areas of expertise and the documents etc
that crop up therein.  Such reports should reach me by 31 Jan 1991.

Thereafter, Kevin Schurer (who has already conducted quite extensive work
in this field with respect to standardizing mark up of census and census
like data) and I will meet and dry to cobble together either a
draft report (Based on the submissions), or at least an agenda based
on our reading of the submissions for  a meeting to be held sometime
near the end of March. This report and/agenda will be circulated to the
committee members along with all their draft reports.

Have only mailed out this proposed strategy a week or so ago (by traditional
post, I'm afraid) and am waiting to hear back from colleagues. Will let
you know more as soon as I know more.

ps - could you pass this message along to your colleague with whom i have
been in touch.

hope all is well in the windy city.  go shopping at marshall fields this
xmas and admire the window displays set up there with the help of my sister.
