SIRCE Funding Update

[Daniel Karrenberg <]

Commitments currently stand at almost 30kECU or "only" 20% of the
expected amunt.  Thanks to the people who made a commitment; they are
listed in chronological order below.  Since commitments are still coming
in we have extended the deadline to Friday November 29th.  See the form
attached.  We are very much interested to know why the response is so
much less than expected.  We will therefore circulate a questionnaire to
get some of the answers.
