Hi Chris, My point was actually to make the information public so that no only can we know what each other are doing it can also be a wider resource of new media practioners (in the fullest sense, including people in creative industries, researchers, curators, artists etc...). I have asked anyone who minds having their email address made public to contact me and I won't list it. Not sure about the data protection act but as has been discussed previously on the list the archive is already public. I'll double check this but I imagined that as I am asking list members to contact me if they don't want to be listed this should be fine.
