September 2008 has been and gone ... and not a word about JCIM from SCIP

"The committee will be tasked with bringing back to the CIF Board of Trustees a recommendation by the first week in September on how JCIM will be restructured and launched." (Martha Gleason, writing on behalf of the CIF, April 2008)

The above was stated at the beginning of April as a partial explanation of the sudden and somewhat dramatic demise of JCIM. At that time I expressed my doubts that we might not hear anything new in September, and indeed, not one word was said about JCIM in September, nor at the Rome conference at the end of October. We are now in mid-November, and the silence is deafening.

Does anyone know anything about what has been happening with the deliberations regarding JCIM?

Is someone hoping that this issue will just fade away ... ?

If so, perhaps a comment made by a colleague in Rome may be pertinent: while cutting JCIM may appear to save some expenses, a no less serious consequence may be the adverse immediate and longer-term effect on SCIP membership (both in terms of potential new members, and also in terms of membership renewals). Has anyone at SCIP factored this into the equation?

Regards

Michael
