After many long years since Pierre Hahn and I began the FrenchSIG we are
looking to retire peacefully.
At last count the SIG had 998 members.  I have been asking for some
time, and am now strongly asking
again.   Is there someone, or perhaps a couple of members to share the
job, who would be interested,
and feel qualified, to take over to keep a French Research Group
alive?   There are some excellent
responses for help in France now showing up on this list.  If you feel
able and willing to keep the
French Group going we would very much wish to hear from you!
