I agree with Paolo that this is probably something that should be continued.
What we do at SEUL/edu is probably a subset of what SIGCUE is concerned with.
I also suspect that most of us aren't ACM members (I'm not).  I don't know if
ACM would be willing to let non-members take leadership positions.

If anyone is interested in the possibility of assuming leadership of
ACM-SIGCUE, it's probably best to contact Paolo about making the offer.
Alternatively, we should probably let SIGCUE know about us and what we do at
the very least, so any interested members there could come to us if they want
when SIGCUE dissolves.  Paolo, could you let them know about us?  Thanks.
