Correction of BAN! 0-96:

In the article on the launching of the Abolition 2000 Network, a number of Working Group convenors were listed. Please note that the convenor of the Working Group on the Newsletter is not Pamela Meidell since she has been coopted member of the Ad-Hoc Committee of the Network's Clearinghouse. Instead, Tobias Damjanov (Germany) will serve as a convenor of this Working Group.
