Thanks, Ann. *The Astronomy Governance Working Group established by the Australian Government?s Department of Industry and Science has considered the community's feedback on its first Discussion Paper titled ?Future Astronomy Infrastructure Governance Arrangements - Discussion Paper? which was released in December 2014 . This initial Discussion Paper has been developed into an astronomy governance Options Paper, having taken into account the feedback from the astronomy community provided in February and March 2015. A number of submissions made the point that there were some options which were not canvassed. The Options Paper is expected to distributed to the astronomy community in late June/early July. At that time Ms Ann Bray, General Manager, Science Agencies Governance in the Department will be available for some targeted consultations to get further feedback and will be happy to receive written feedback.* ************************************************************************* The information contained in this e-mail, and any attachments to it, is intended for the use of the addressee and is confidential.
