This sounds like an interesting idea.  Would anyone in the group (or
all of the group for that matter) be interested in coming up with such
a list?  If the demands are reasonable, I would consider putting it up
to proxy vote at the next shareholder's meeting.  I may not own much
Apple stock, but I do have a few shares (no flames please, the shares
were a gift several years ago... :-)

I suppose the big question should be, what exactly do you expect Apple
to do, and how do you think they will react to such demands?
