GSBN. Welcome Enga. (she said she's probably going to lurk for a
bit anyway).<br>

Graeme (apologies for the earlier misspelling of your name),
please ask Min to join via
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sustainablesources.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/GSBN">http://sustainablesources.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/GSBN</a> and then
let me know when she's done so. I doubt we'll see any "no" votes,
so I'll probably be adding her as a contributor as well in the
next few days.<br>
<br>
NZ in March 2016... hmmm. If I do well in the job interview on
Friday I may be in a position to do that one, and hopefully maybe
bring the whole family. <br>

Hi Everyone
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to nominate my friend and colleague Min Hall to
membership of the list, if someone will second her please. </div>
<div>I think that she will be a great addition to our collective
wisdom. She has designed some really lovely earth and straw
buildings. </div>
<div>Some of you will have met her at Colorado.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As she says of herself:</div>
<div><br>
<i>I am a New Zealand registered architect with over thirty
years experience. During that time I have designed a number of
earth and straw bale buildings and more recently(2012)
completed a Master of Architecture thesis "Earth and Straw
Bale: their performance and potential as building materials in
New Zealand." I am a member of the Standards New Zealand
Committee responsible for our Earth Building Standards and
part of a working group looking at providing building consent
information for straw bale construction. Most importantly I am
on the organising committee for the 2016 International Straw
Building Conference to be held in Methven, New Zealand in
March 2016 which is going to be a ripper!</i></div>

<blockquote type="cite">Hi all,<br>
<br>
We had a couple of nominations hanging out there - Brad
Young of Fairfield IA and cob builder Kevin McCabe. But due
to poor follow through, Brad was on the 'read only' list
until just now when I promoted him to contributing member
status (WELCOME, Brad! from a fellow 'roo), and Kevin hasn't
even joined the 'read only' list. Tom or Graham, are you
willing to follow up on Kevin - invite him to the list and
then let me know he's signed up.<br>
<br>
The same procedure goes for Enga - ask her to sign up for
the list and let me know once she's there. I can then make
her a contributing member.<br>
<br>
Sign up is through the link in the footer of every message
from the list.<br>
<br>
With all these cobbers and other not-pure-straw people
coming in lately, perhaps we should change the name from
Global Straw Building Network to Global Sustainable Building
Network!<br>
