I'm just curious: As the editor of the OSI Reference Model standard, you
could perhaps tell us a little bit about the early history of OSI.

Who invented the 7 layer model? 
When did work on OSI start?
Who had the idea of OSI? 
Is it true that the people involved in early OSI design came mostly
from the telephone industry and not from computer science?
What alternative proposals have there been to the 7 layer model?

Looking forward to a few insider stories ...

Markus
