> Dear Researchers & ACTR Members:
>
> Dennis Kennedy has contacted me for input and help with the Canadian
> Entries for the Oxford Encyclopedia of Performance, and I thought I would
> post what he is proposing on the list so that the whole community could
> comment, make suggestions, etc. I'll compile & edit what suggestions I
> receive, and get back to him with them on our behalf. He asked me to
> remind you that this is a large international project and that it won't be
> possible to get the degree of "coverage" that experts in any of the areas
> might like.
>
> Dennis has sent me a Headword list Sorted by Topic Category with proposed
> word count, and a space to suggest contributors' names. Please give
> feedback on omissions, on suggested entries, on relative importance as
> indicated by the word count, and on suggested contributors--again, keeping
> in mind that it won't help to suggest adding exhorbitant amounts of
> material: he is willing, I think, to think of the list as short, but not
> as short as we probably think it is. If you suggest two additions, then,
> you might want to suggest at least one deletion. And please feel free to
> suggest yourself as a potential contributor.
>
> I would ask that you refrain from sending simple diatribes, and try to
> contribute in ways that are helpful and productive.

> Here, then, is the draft list:
