[game_edu] IGDA Board votes still needed pls

[S. Gold]

As you may be aware, we just completed the Global Game Jam which had over
1650 participants world wide. Yes, half of them were in North America, but
the other half spanned the globe. With the largest Jams were held in
Copenhagen and Utrecht in the Netherlands. It is the Education SIG¹s
position that we need to reach out globally to include everyone.

And as mentioned in our correspondence ­ we are happy to work with other
SIGs but we need a solid proposal from the Preservation SIG in which to act
on. Since you are not the chair and your last note said you did not know why
you wanted a liaison, I think it is best to keep the discussion between the
SIG chairs and then to blast the list.

Thank you,
Susan
