The success of the session highlighted the timely nature of the study group's creation . Elected at the meeting as co-conveners of the study group were Therese Kenna (UNSW), Donald McNeil (UWS) and Rae Dufty (UTAS). Current plans are for the first event of the study group to be held before the year is out.
