Pestnet
Editors, note: I encourage IAPPS Blog readers to read the report of the PestNet Review and send your comments and suggestions to Grahame Jackson, author of the letter below. It would be great if the PestNet activity could be expanded globally to provide services to Africa and other regions. Do you have ideas as to how this might be achieved? Also,do you have suggestions as to how IAPPS can contribute to the PestNet activities? If so, contact Grahame and me.
Thanks!

Dear Everyone
Geoff Norton has completed the PestNet Review.
I am attaching the report, and I have also put it on the PestNet website, so you can find it at www.pestnet.org Click on the menu on the left side – second from the bottom.
The moderators want to thank Geoff for his efforts, and also the many PestNet members who provided comment. The report is a milestone for PestNet: it provides a very useful synthesis of PestNet’s origin and development over the years, members’ opinions of the service and use statistics, and suggestions how the service might be improved. The report has a very complete 3-page summary.
We are keen to have feedback from you, and in particular welcome any thoughts that you have on future options, some of which concern funding, the scale of Pestnet globally, ways of improving the email service and the website, and how other sites might be used to complement Pestnet activities.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
PestNet moderators
