[ I still need more memory for my minirack C . . . ]

Let's appoint a committee (maybe seven, maybe nine) people to
discuss this, and come up with a proposal.  This proposal will
be written up and posted to Usenet, and comments taken for a
period of three weeks.  Then, the committee will meet again,
and submit a revised proposal, hopefully in time for the
Developers' Conference in DC.  Maybe we can schedule some time
there for another meeting, and shortly thereafter, we will have
a concrete message-passing protocol.  A standard.  That will
accomodate everyone, hopefully.  How does this sound?

Meetings should probably take place here in the bay area; I'm
willing to organize this, and even find a meeting place and
write things up.  Volunteers and nominations for committee
members are being accepted.

Discussion at BADGE just doesn't work; there are too many people
there.  A committee can make decisions.

I want this hammered out, and soon.
