Dear ALL:

There is an effort going on now to create a real scientific journal which
will publish not only work by noncryonicists but even work by cryonicists.
Anyone new to cryonics or this series of messages might consult the By-Laws
of the Society for Cryobiology to understand why this effort has begun.

I have been involved in setting this journal up. Although we already have
some of the people needed, we still need more:

REFEREES: (unfortunately) this job can only be done by someone with an MD
          or a PhD. There are few restrictions on the subject field for 
          either of these degrees, but you must have a valid degree from
          a recognized university. 

DIRECTORS: If necessary, we can proceed with only one Director. However it
           would be highly desirable to have at least 2 more. We're looking
           for cryonicists with suspension memberships in force. No other
           qualifications than an ability to work hard is needed.

There is no limit to the number of referees we can accept. We're particularly
interested in finding qualified referees who may not be cryonicists but should
not be actively hostile. As for Directors, the current plan is to have no more
than 3. If no one comes forward for sufficiently long, we will proceed to 
incorporate with only one Director --- reluctantly.

Anyone interested in either of these jobs may contact me directly at my
net email address: 

				Best and long life,

				    Thomas Donaldson
