Hi Lee:
I'm not aware of precedent for this merger. In previous cases where
the ACM SIG Governing Board voted to decharter a SIG, the SIG was
simply dissolved with members given the option to join some other SIG
of their choice for the balance of their current membership. I
believe this is an indication that the SGB wishes SIGAPL activities to
continue and that SIGPLAN is a viable home for us. Though never
explicitly stated, there may be a desire on the part of the SGB to
minimize the number of SIGs to make things more manageable.
Regards,
Steve Rogers
