[Regia-NA] "what's an Authenticity Officer look like"?

Tue, 18 Mar 2003 13:40:11 -0800

I'd be happy to nominate Carolyn - if she's ready willing and able to travel 
hither and yon (especially hither!) to give us all the "nomny-domny" in the 
name of Regia... One can't accuse her of having sub-standard knowledge; at 
worst she just needs to spend some time with the UK folks and get on the 
same page, so to speak.

What say ye?
