>Greetings everyone,

>

>I'd like to announce a new blog concerning the CEDA topic writing

>process.  It's called CEDATOPIC and it is operated by members of the

>Topic Committee.

>

>It is our hope that CEDATOPIC provides the following benefits to the

>committee and our broader community:

>

>• CEDATOPIC provides links to the topic area and wording papers,

>selected online reference resources for the Supreme Court topic area,

>and archives for the discussion and work which the topic committee will

>be conducting in the next month.  This material includes a new report

>concerning the Topic Process - its various steps and documents that

>control it.

>

>• CEDATOPIC as a weblog provides greater organization and immediacy for

>our reporting to you, our reserach, and your research and feedback to

>us.  We will keep it updated during the summer conference meetings

>themselves.  Reminder: the summer topic meeting takes place in Kansas

>City May 31 to June 2.

>

>Please feel free to comment at CEDATOPIC on any of the posts -

>anonymously if you prefer that.

>

>CEDATOPIC was launched yesterday: CEDATOPIC.blogspot.com

>

>Over the next few days we will be working on organizing our questions

>and research areas for the new topic area.  Hopefully the greater

>organization and focus provided by this blog will enable a more

>effective and inclusive deliberation process.  Those are certainly the

>goals.

>

>Gordon Stables of USC is the other administrator of CEDATOPIC - in

>fact, the blog was his idea.  If you have any suggestions for

>additional uses of it please let one of us know.
