Subject	ECF
Dear friends of the ECF, Attached I send you: - An executive summary of the ECF (to be revised anytime on the basis of your suggestions), - The current version of the ECF "Manifesto" (to be revised anytime on the basis…), - The minutes of the Amsterdam preparatory meeting of last November. We do have an URL by now: . We will gradually develop it, please feel free to make suggestions. We also have an internal section, see: . Her at PIK, Dr. Martin Welp will take care of ECF logistics for the time being. His e-mail address is: Martin.Welp@pik-potsdam.de. As for the Logo search, I like these things very much, although I am really not knowledgeable at all. We might make a pre-selection and run a competition on our web-site, inviting cyber-visitors to give their opinion - we will still be free to choose what we like best. Perhaps rather than looking for the single best Logo right now it is more fruitful to identify which proposals find enough appreciation to become part of the web competition. And let us enjoy these more playful moments without neglecting the key challenge we are faced with: Defining first joint projects and reaching agreements with relevant stakeholders to actually carry them out. As for the foundation technicalities, we are preparing a background document that we will send out soon. A final remark on e-mail etiquette: Could we put the string "ECF" in the subject line of all e-mails dealing with ECF, in order to enable our various browser to filter these pearls out of the ocean of e-mails we have begun to live in?
