Dear Gunter,
I am writing in regard to your efforts to found a European Federation of Cytometric Societies. I hope that I and ISAC might work together with you in this venture to ensure that the two organizations are complementary. I understand completely your interest in establishing a European cytometry network that can deal effectively with local issues, especially in the area of clinical cytometry. I hope that ISAC might support and participate in this effort. I am particularly concerned about the journal issue and am anxious to ensure, to the extent possible, that your plans for the ACP are meshed and complimentary to those that Jan Visser may have for Cytometry as he assumes it's editorship. The purpose of this letter is not to deter you from your efforts, but rather to open a dialogue so that we can ensure that the organization you plan is complimentary to, and supported by ISAC. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter.
Sincerely,
Joe W.Gray
