----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Alice Hudson asks: <What is the function of CUAC vis a vis this meeting? Just curious. I don't know what the formal function is. I know Melissa is attending and she is the current Chair. I think a good history of CUAC and its relationship to GPO, DLC and the FDLP would help. Was CUAC a response to DLC's inability to deal with cartographic information? or was is DLC's management by assigning a 'sub committee'? Does CUAC work? or not and why not? Has it kept pace? I don't know the answers to any of these questions.
