[BAA Comets] e: Fwd: COBS mail on ICQ import (Padma Yanamandra-Fisher)

Sun Jan 17 01:21:05 GMT 2016

Dear Padma,

It would be a boon to eventually include this archive as a PDS data set and
we are of course interested in details of how to proceed once the format
and guidelines are set. If possible, would you please send me a copy of
your talk? Good luck at the conference!
