<pre>Dear All

Little more than a year ago I thought about setting up this list for the
benefits of exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, and answering any questions
about Olives and Olive Oil. Since then, the list has grown and thanks to all of
you, it is now one of the leading cyberspace discussion groups on Olives and
Olive Oil.

To foster this growth and to improve the offering of this list, I am considering
setting up an advisory committee, a think tank if you will, consisting of 10
prominent members of this group to discuss ways and means to achieve these
objectives and to put forth plans for future development of the list. The
primary objective is to continue to improve the quality of the list to always
meet and exceed the expectations of the membership.

Therefore, I am asking for nominees for the Advisory Committee (AC) to contact
me directly by January 15th, 2000 at OliveOil-owner@onelist.com if they wish to
be considered for this committee. The AC will communicate through a private
list created exclusively for this purpose.

Priority consideration will be given to the following:

~ Senior members of this list (by seniority, I don't mean age, but by date of
subscription to the group)
~ Active participants
~ Nominees who provide me a brief bio and summary of their Olive and Olive
Oil experience
~ Prominent people in the industry (farmers, manufacturers, advocates,
experts)
~ Consumers

Best regards
Jamal Sadoun
OliveOil list manager
