	I am a Composer of electroacoustic music and a CDP user, I live in
Cordoba and teach composition in the School of Art of the Universidad
Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina. 

	The idea of Bob Douglas seems to be very interesting and possible to
implement with the coordination and help of different universities of
the world (Colorado, Sidney conservatory, School of Art of the
Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, etc.)  

	The access to this kind of workshop is very important for people who
live in the periphery and have not economic possibilities to travel to
contact with experienced teachers of this means (csound).

	If this idea grows up we could begin to work in ours respective
universities to get the adequate help to implement it.
