[ACVM] Informational Statements - call for volunteers?

[White, David M - APHIS]

Diplomates -
Two messages ago, I suggested that we start posting statements from the ACVM on issues of concern, and there were a couple of supportive statements. However, how do we do that? One way is to have a list of subject matter experts that can be tapped as issues come up, call for volunteers, or just encourage people to put information out for comment on the listserv that can be vetted by the membership and then turned into an informational statement?  As a starting point, would people be willing to submit information on their area(s) of expertise? Or would it be better to call for volunteers on an as-needed basis?

Does anyone want to volunteer for an AIV statement? Would we comment on something like equine Herpesvirus, if it's only a local outbreak? http://www.promedmail.org/post/3906119

P.S. As your communications vignette  for this week:

Please note the new footer on these messages that will (hopefully) help people manipulate their options for the listserv. You can unsubscribe through email, but other changes such as setting a Digest mode are better accomplished on the website.
