Dear Simon,
you respond to Roberto:

I would be interested in assisting into such a draft preparation
as I feel that time is short now before we meet drastic changes
into the internet management under the pressure of international,
nsw projects and the www (world war three) between large
interests. If we could establish principles of cooperation before,
IMHO it would probably help many to survive the crisis and the
whole system to better cope with it.
