Editorial

As announced in the last edition, this is the last number I edit. From now on editorship will fall upon our recently elected vice-chair, David Garfinkle. We all wish David good luck with his new responsibilities. In addition to the election of vice-chair, Alessandra Buonanno and Bob Wagoner were elected to the executive committee. The two modifications to the bylaws (creation of the membership coordination post and correction of a typo in the number of members of the nominating committee) were approved overwhelmingly in the ballot. The next newsletter is due September 1st. All issues are available in the WWW:

The newsletter is available for Palm Pilots, Palm PC's and web-enabled cell phones as an Avantgo channel. Check out http://www.avantgo.com under technology$\rightarrow$science. A hardcopy of the newsletter is distributed free of charge to the members of the APS Topical Group on Gravitation upon request (the default distribution form is via the web) to the secretary of the Topical Group. It is considered a lack of etiquette to ask me to mail you hard copies of the newsletter unless you have exhausted all your resources to get your copy otherwise. If you think a topic should be covered by the newsletter you are strongly encouraged to contact the relevant correspondent. If you have comments/questions/complaints about the newsletter email me. Have fun. Jorge Pullin
