That was pretty much my understanding. So, would members like SPI to join FACIL? It seems pretty clearly acceptable under a SPI goal "to aid, assist, cooperate, co-sponsor and otherwise engage in concerted action with private, educational and governmental organizations and associations on all issues and matters concerning the use of computers and computer software and generally" Just so there's someone to do any work involved, I offer to act as liaison, although a Canadian francophone member would be better IMO.
