Wow.  That's fantastic news!  I do have one concern, though...

I'm afraid that the Comos family might be tempted to limit their facility 
to the preservation of those who have been suspended at liquid nitrogen
temperatures, since that was the technology which was in use when their
daughter was suspended.  Do you know if this is the case?  

I have great hopes for the future of -135C suspensions, as I'm personally
afraid that revivals of liquid-nitrogen cracked patients may never be
technically feasible.  I am not currently an Alcor member, but I will
sign up in a heartbeat if Alcor can start suspending members at 
non-cracking temperatures and stop relying as much on the future ability
of nanotechnology to make everything possible.

I would strongly support joining with the Comos in either case, but would
naturally prefer to hear that allowances were being made for higher
temperature suspensions for the future.
