You've beaten me to it Denis! - it's on my list of things to do for today
but I needed to send out the earlier note first.

Helen Usher has been the prime mover behind this well-written and
informative work - this is one of her contributions that in their entirety
should eventually see her awarded a Ph.D., which she is currently studying
for.

As well as Rosetta and Comet 67P, there is a useful retrospective of
previous observing campaigns (Halley, Deep Impact, ISON and others) and the
results of a couple of surveys - one questioning Rosetta campaign
participants and the other obtaining feedback from the wider astronomical
community.

Now we just need the next Comet of the Century to make its presence known to
us and we can put in practice Helen's recommendations for an ideal observing
campaign with it as the target!
