The PMC has voted to accept our original proposal. ;-);-);-) In the meantime, we tweaked the proposal and guidelines somewhat following the initial submission, and ended up with, I believe, with what is posted at < http://husted.com/about/commons/prop03.html > If there are no objections, I'll check this into our CVS as "charter.html", and we can get started! ;-);-);-) PLEASE now subscribe to the Commons list < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > and post any replies there. I've already subscribed us to mail-archive.com, though it may not show on the index yet. Let the games begin! -Ted.
