[Reader-list] it was just a thought

[Vivek Narayanan]

Hi-- Just to clarify that what I made was a proposal, certainly open to 
modification and/or disagreement or throwing out altogether. 

So Aarti, I of course take and welcome your suggestions for 
modifications in that spirit (though I don't know yet if I agree with 
you, am still thinking).

I don't think any of us can say for sure what would work unless we try 
something out and see what happens.  I think many of us on this list 
think some very few very basic very clear protocols might help this list 
to thrive even better.  And I think most of us do want this list to 
thrive.  As with many of the issues we discuss, there is a shared sense 
of commitment, even some shared bits of vision and yet-- no foolproof 
solutions.
