Koen, Ernest,
It is important that the libraries do not gain a mistaken impression that those interested in the manuscript form any sort of formal association, but consists of wholly independent persons.
In the past, certain libraries have gained an idea (I don't know how) that they need only deal with one or two persons, and at one stage this error grew to such proportions that private correspondence from any 'Voynich researcher' had answers sent to entirely the wrong persons - apparently from an idea that we have nominated "representatives'.
If you have a request to make, do make a point of making all the arrangements yourself. That also ensures that you have first rights (after the library) to the digitizations.
- advice from experience.
