Steve,

Some comments to your thoughts:

Remember we are not building THE Internet X.400 service. We are doing
an experiment, and I really hope that the NSF X400 Pilot Project will
contribute to actions in the direction you are indicating.

We are working on a position paper that addresses many of the issues
you raise. We will use this to initiate a broad discussion in the
Internet community. We plan to use the pilot as a testbed for
proving the workability of various solutions. I hope that in the
end the views will converge, such that the plans and models you
are asking for can be developed based on consensus.

Looking forward to meet you at Interop and discuss this further.

Best regards,
Alf H.
