there are tow ways to go
-quality content production
-on the fly working content production as basis for our daily work
what i would see useful if posible is to have a home page where this
isue
-or generating a quolity pab home page is a matter for discusion
and can be coverde as in progress over this home page
but the recent sitaution makes diferent requayerments on the pab
home page for the moment becouse hase to be more official
-otherwise it would be a "revolution" how work and pablic relation is done
i think it would become a something between official public and in
progress intern working home page

we should definitely orientate our self on poc this means we need some
information going from poc to pab -mr javier sola is i am shure working
hard to suport poc to do the nechst step but until now we have not heard
ANYTHING from him altough he represents the pab in the poc
either there wuld be soon a first official statement of the poc or
we should request mr.mott and mr.sola to report to us what is going on in
poc discussion list or whan we can expect a "orientation statement"
this is very importend

again it would be much easyser at least for me to have a "official" or
"semi-official"-means not yet "finished" statement from the leading people
in the process speack isoc iana so that we can orient our self on it
