Hello everyone...
Just to make sure this will happen, and not knowing what has been
discussed in regard of the tape (maybe I'm just raining over wet), would
like to point out:
1) Make one or several copies of the tape (analog copies since it seems
there are no digital facilities where the tape is now).
2) Ship copies of the tape, not the original.
3) No matter what format is the tape in (1/2 inch, 3/4, 1 inch, beta,
vhs, or any other more exotic one), it should not be too complicated to
digitaze it. From mos formats (minus reel to reel 1/2 and 1 inch) I can
do it in my home (still keep in working status my UMATIC, VHS and Beta
players). If more exotic, several local facilities would be happy to help
in. Of course, if the tape has problems (funghi, ruptures, etc.), then a
more extensive job is necessary, probably not for free...
4) When the digital copy is ready, please submit (upload) it to
archive.org, even if you still wish to use YouTube.
Finaly, keep us posted, we all want to promote this interview as soon as
it becomes available on line.
Many thanks and best regards,
Peter Cernik
ISOC Venezuela

Gerard,
George already responded that he has the copy, and he started talking
to Joly of ISOC-New York about the digitalization. I think that it
will be organized shortly; what they may need from you is to cover
the expenses for the FedEx, as it is not wise to mail this by usual
mail.
Best,
Veni
(p.s. let's take away this off the list, as these are technical
details, and George is not subscribed there, so he can't post to it)

Hi folks
It's great to see so much interest in getting this tape
digitised.
Unfortunately ISOC does not currently have a copy of the tape, so
we
are certainly keen to get a copy that we can link to from our
main
site as soon as possible.
There seem to be quite a few offers of help coming in. I don't
want to
get in the way of any action that is happening already, but
please let
me know if there is any assistance we can give.
Many thanks.
- Gerard
