Please read and send Scott nice mail saying how much you appreciate
his asking, and yes, CHI should also boycott Colorado.  Until they
change their legislation, that is.  They probably won't be able to
by '95, however.

And PS:  I'll be presenting a tutorial at InterCHI in Amsterdam
this April.  Unfortunately, it conflicts with the March on Washington,
but if you'll be in Amsterdam then, please drop me a note.  We
can all get together like we usually do.

This weekend the Conference Planning Committee will discuss
the political problems in Colorado and consider the possibility
of moving CHI-95 from Denver.  We will probably discuss polling
SIGCHI members, but I'd like a quick idea of what people in
the CHI community think so we have something to chew on this
weekend.  I know that announcements.chi doesn't reach everyone,
but it's some kind of sample!

So please answer the following questions (today if possible).
Just reply with quick Yes/No/?? answers so I can tally
this stuff today and tomorrow.
If you want to send more detailed comments, do so in a separate note.

*** PLEASE REPLY TO ME
*** NOT to the whole announcements.chi mailing list!!!

1. Do you think SIGCHI should consider moving CHI-95 from Colorado
because of the November vote on homosexual rights? Yes/No/??

2. Would you consider boycotting CHI-95 if it is held in
Colorado? Yes/No/??

3. Do you know people who you think would boycott CHI-95 if it
is held in Colorado?  Yes/No/??

** REMEMBER, don't reply to the whole mailing list!!!
Thanks,

-Scott Robertson
-CHI-95 Co-Chair
