I have been reminded by a number of people that I forgot to explain what the
plan #3 I mentioned in my note about survey #2 is :-) I apologize for the
confusion. I number of people told me that everything would be so much better
if I completely stopped to do anything about LISTSERV and completely gave
maintenance, support and development over to EARN; BITNET and NetNorth might
or might not wish to negotiate the availability of EARN-written changes to
LISTSERV with the EARN BoD. It should be clear that in any case, I wouldn't be
responsible for the outcome of these negotiations, regardless of what this
outcome may be and the impact it might have on the network.
I have got so pissed off with this whole business that this would actually be
an acceptable solution to me, and I have therefore decided, out of democracy,
to include it into the list of proposed plans you are going to "vote" on with
survey #3. I have been allowed to tell you that Alain Auroux finds this
proposal to be a big improvement over the previous two, although this is only
his personal opinion. However I wouldn't be surprised (that is MY personal
opinion here) if the EARN-Exec officially endorsed this plan.
Out of the same democracy that caused me to include it in the list of proposed
plans, I will implement it only if it is the one that comes first in the
results of survey #3. You will have a chance to vote against or for it.
Eric
