| 
| 1) Participating Board members finish and agree to a statement
| 
| 2) Each participating Board member works with their organization to

| 
| 3) Participating Board members endorse the agreement, as individuals
|    or as an organization-wide endorsement
|
| 4) Identify a coordinator for outreach efforts

I'm comfortable with Spaf taking on this role.

I think that the contact list should be professionals, but question
how wide we want to make it?  Do we look for (say) 50 high profile
people outside the board, or accept the potential of 5,000 signatures
from bugtraq/ntbugtraq?  I think that the latter is less compelling
than the former.

|    statement, *consider* making modifications.

Dave and I coordinated a bit.  I'm offsite tomorow and Friday, and so
I can't hold it.

I agree with all the cuts made to my draft.
