Chick,

>-> (b) 12 standards developing and

How are you defining these terms?

ANSI has had it's own institutional definitions for
these terms which have been fairly narrowly focussed
and designed to promote ANSI interests in a decidely
old world of standards development.

There's nothing particularly wrong with this, exept
if the USNII effort is designed to be truly broad and
unbiased - particularly if there is NIST support -
and if you want to really embrace the standards world
as it exist today, then I think your terms and perspective
on these matters must necessarily be institutionally
neutral.

Look forward to a dialogue on this.

cheers,

--tony
