<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Dear
FIS & IS4SI Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We
start this 23rd year of activities in the list with the novelty commented in my
last message: the incorporation of IS4SI Board members. We will count with a
network of a dozen correspondents or so who will keep all of us updated on a
variety of fields belonging to "the study of information" on a
seasonal basis. Of course all members of the list are invited to participate in
this periodic informative contact too. Whatever matters to our common interest
on information might be reflected by someone in the list. The new purpose
is that this list becomes not only an arena of discussion, as we have so much
accumulated in the past (see <a
href="https://fis.sciforum.net/fis-discussion-sessions/">https://fis.sciforum.net/fis-discussion-sessions/</a>
), but also a dynamic repository of exciting ideas & criticisms, of
relevant scholarship of articles and bibliography, of new insights on
contemporary problems, etc. Everyone in his/her style, we could work as a
collective intelligence trying to make better sense of our strange times. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>For
a start I would suggest a rough evaluation of the past meeting in
Berkeley (could it be possible some comment from your side, Terry?). It was
really an experience listening to technological avantgarde's prognostics &
criticisms. Possible exits to the contemporary crossroads are difficult to
foretell... In my opinion, a monumental misunderstanding of information
underlies a good portion of the conceptual disorientation among the
cognoscenti. I will try to argue more concretely about this along the debates
of this New Course. The new inscribed parties may present themselves and
produce their arguments when they wish (with the traditional limitation of two
messages per week).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>But
we are far less people than before in the list (sadly the University of
Zaragoza's mindless application of the European Law on Data Protection
decimated this list), so to facilitate the new functioning, maybe relaxing the
two messages per week could be a good idea now. What about putting the limit in
three messages per week? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Finally,
to the group of veteran FISers who have spent 20 years or more in this list, a
strong hug. Let us hope the new venture with IS4SI will mean a new horizon of
creativity and influence for our long-term project.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Best
regards<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
