Hi...

	Upon Bob's request, I would like to take a normal procedure in order
to create a new newsgroup "comp.protocols.iso.migration" so that nobody can
bother existing newsgroup either "comp.protocols.iso" or "comp.protocols.
tcp-ip" any more.

	First of all, this new newsgroup can be grouped by anybody who is
interested in migration/transition to OSI. You may discuss any technical
or non-technical issues on any protocols/strategies which might be helpful
to migrate/transit to OSI world. Here are about 40 persons who responded to
my postings so far. I would like to vote whether we need to create such a new 
newsgroup.  Please vote, and e-mail either me or post temporarily at 
"comp.protocols.iso", NOT at "comp.protocols.tcp-ip". After I collect those
info, I will re-post the result at both "comp.protocols.iso" and 
"comp.protocols.tcp-ip". Here is the mailing list, and if you are interested
in joining this new newsgroup, please vote.

	Thanks, Bob... and, from my previous postings, I would like to
apologize to some persons, if they felt hurt from me. I am sure this new
newsgroup will resolve our networking future, and will give us a right 
direction. Thanks.
