[Wamvan] Doc Screening - Our Lives to Fight For

Fri Jan 6 05:39:43 PST 2012

Joanna, I'm sure that WAM! Vancouver has an explicit confidentiality policy
(ie all conversations that take place on this listserve cannot be
redistributed/quoted/paraphrased unless explicit permission has been
given). Could you share it with all of us again so that we're clear?

Many thanks,
Sharon
