[Annotation] biocurator society

[Petra Fey]

Dear Biocurators,

We have recently asked for your input about the formation of a  
biocurator group in association with an existing organization.  
Amongst those who answered there was no clear agreement regarding  
which group we would most benefit from, and most people seemed to  
prefer an independent society, with the caveat that it's a lot of  
work and most of us are not familiar with the procedures that would  
be necessary. We have continued to explore what would be the best  
solution. Recently, we have met with the SwissProt group in Geneva  
and they have been highly supportive of the idea of an independent  
society. They propose to contribute resources and help in  
establishing the society. With such support, the possibility of  
establishing a stand-alone society now looks more feasible.

We'd like to ask for your input once again. Please answer this very  
simple survey considering the kind of society you wish to see  
established. Your immediate participation is very much appreciated.  
Please pass this message along to colleagues you think would be  
interested.
Thank you!
