complete approval
  1. establish R&D admds as soon as possible
     the specificity relying
	. on the potential "customer" base
	. on some specific services (such as RFC987 gateway operation)
	. on the transport infrastructure used (ie. as much as
         	possible national and international R&D networks)
  2. interconnect with as many others admd as possible
       . all other R&D admd (whenever feaseable)
       . all "commercial" admds accepting peer to peer conditions

That means in many countries starting lobbying to have this scheme
accepted by Academic and R&D people on one hand and Telecom people
on the other.

I would be really interested to know about the current situation in
different countries and may be exchanging that kind of information
may help (just by showing that this is being done in many other
countries). What about foe eache country having a statement
on the current situation and what is being planned and
expected difficulties a s o.?
