Richard Schafer (and others) have commented on the need for technical
guidance for CREN and BITNET.  You'll be pleased (I believe) to know that
the Board's Technical Committee is investigating the idea of forming
technical working groups, with Board and non-Board participants, the
latter coming from the wealth of network volunteers, to address technical
issues and advise the Board.  I anticipate that you'll be hearing more about
this from the Board in the coming months.
