Mail peo@ecf.utoronto.ca  for a more detailed version of the proposal and a
brief description of other information files filling in details.  We had
to shorten up the article to justify daily postings for the week of June 13.

So far, we have 42 people interested in becoming founding members in the last
4 weeks and 645 more prospects in the last week.  We need at least 50 users
to justify setting up a first meeting, at least 300 people to accumulate
enough capital to buy and setup the hardware, but no more than 1500 people
permitted.  The membership fee to join the co-op has been set at $300 and the
annual fee for operating expenses set at $120.  No hourly charges or limited
access by modem/telnet or hard limits on disk space.

DISCLAIMER: This proposal is the sole responsibility of the authors
                 Rocco Racioppo, P.Eng. and Art Stretton, Ph.D.
      The PEO has not yet provided its official endorsement of this concept.
