'Please use this space to describe ways in which you consider EMII should develop to provide a value added resource to museums in your country. Feel free to address any aspect of our current remit or to propose new roles. You may be as detailed as you like and include references to publications, Web sites, iniatives etc. Whilst we are developing our vision for EMII's future activities we also want to ensure that we capture your needs and concerns.'

• Investigate the aspects of the questionnaire further (even with quite some initial research we had to leave gaps. I suspect other countries will have similar problems for sections of the forms.) as European politicians will (should) be interested in the results.
• Establish contacts with relevant (comparable ?) institutions in the following fields of cultural heritage: archaeology, monuments, archives, libraries, performing arts, folk art/ethnology
• Establish contacts with comparable institutes in the field of natural heritage. At least in The Netherlands the type of organizational structure of the field is similar to the museum field: utterly dispersed and smaller and larger organizations that complement and compete each other...
• Establish long term contacts with other international museum information bodies (we all know the list).
• All these contacts should result in a report that makes a thorough description and analysis of the structures and action possibilities of these fields.

In summary, EMII should find a way to establish itself as a thorough, up to date, well known and reliable source of information on its area of action, bridging the fields of technology and politics on one side and museums on the other: "the place from where a museum would start off any serious plans it has to embark on when creating, using or exchanging information on its collections and/or theme".
