Subject:  Announcement of Nominating Committee's Slate of
          Nominees and Information on Petitioning to Add
          Candidates.

    The annual meeting of the CREN membership (by proxy) is scheduled to
be held on Monday, January 27, 1992.  The law office of Bergman and
Barrett will conduct the count of the proxy vote.  At this meeting (by
proxy count), four Trustees will be elected to succeed those whose terms
have expired: Ira Fuchs, Bernard Galler, Mark Laubach, and William Yundt.

    According to the CREN bylaws (Sec. 5.4.2), the Nominating Committee
shall accept petitions from the Member Representatives for candidates for
Trustee.  Any candidate for whom petitions are received from at least 5%
of the CREN members will be added to those on the Nominating Committee's
slate (below) for the election.

    CREN must publish a complete list of nominees (including those
nominated by petition) one month before the annual meeting.  Accordingly,
petitions of nomination from CREN Member Representatives must be submitted
no later than noon, Friday, January 3, 1992.

    For an individual to be added to the slate of nominees, petitions
must be received from at least 5% of CREN Member Representatives (a total
of 29 petitions).  To be nominated, an individual must be employed by a
CREN member.

    Petitions of nomination should be submitted electronically to
NOMINATE@BITNIC (or nominate@bitnic.educom.edu) to be considered.  Please
submit the petition in the following format: list your full name, title,
name of your organization, name of person being nominated and short
statement of support.
