That was pretty much my understanding. So, would members like SPI to
join FACIL?

It seems pretty clearly acceptable under a SPI goal "to aid, assist,
cooperate, co-sponsor and otherwise engage in concerted action with
private, educational and governmental organizations and associations
on all issues and matters concerning the use of computers and computer
software and generally"

Just so there's someone to do any work involved, I offer to act as
liaison, although a Canadian francophone member would be better IMO.
