RESPONSE FROM Mr. FARRIS TO ONE OF MY POSTING

But aren't you worried that by concentrating on high priority items,
that we'll be discriminating against the minorities who may or may
not choose to participate?

I propose that we form a working group to study the best composition
of prime-issue groups.

Wonderful idea.  Perhaps we should petition the IEEE to provide a
special newsletter to report on the progress of our special projects
projects.

The only problem I see is that the IEEE membership (and
non-membership) that have no access to the net, will not be aware of
the progress of the working groups who are working to determine the
composition (and by implication non-composition) of the IEEE
discussion groups discussion group.

Also, I think we should immediately petition to have comp.org.ieee.d
created, so that we can give wider dissemination to this problem.
