Yes, sincere thanks to everyone who took part in this so far: protestants,
journalists, scientists etc.!!

I've just spoken with A. Katalov. The worst news now is that the trial will
probably go on. This means (according to the lawyers predictions) 1-1.5 years
maximum.

I do not know what we really can do. I would say that the Newsnight is a top
level of general public attention we could possibly get. It was much much better
than I initially thought. So, from my point of view, we should move to catching
attention of more professionals. I think that the document, Jason started to
write, is probably the best way to move forward.

Maybe we can organise something like seminar, discussing the issues. I can try
to organise one here at Sheffield, say at the computer department. Although I'm
not sure there will be anyone besides people who are already aware of it.
