[Monash-esjc] ESJC, position statements

[Lana Kagan]

It would actually be a good option to get a policy position statement
out really quickly - from the next MSC meeting - and mail it to local
government reps. Also, There is an VCG(E) (Vice chancellors group
(environment) coming up, perhaps we can get the same thing listed as an
agenda item...
Ill email Paul Barton to ask.
