At the EUUG conference in Copenhagen we had a BOF on international UNIX and it was proposed to continue the discussion in a new newsgroup. It was felt that a new group was needed as there should be a lot of discussion coming (it is a tremendous work!) and it would be quite informal (as opposed to other standardisation work commenting formal drafts). The group name proposed was net.intnl - any comments ?

What about calling the group net.intunix, or create a subgroup of net.unix called net.unix.int or net.unix.intnl, so people can see it has something to do with UNIX ?

I agree that "intnl" isn't a particularly meaningful name, but let's not imply that the problems are restricted to UN*X..... -- George D M Ross, Dept. of Computer Science, Univ. of Edinburgh Phone: +44 31-667 1081 x2730 UUCP: <UK>!ukc!cstvax!gdmr JANET: gdmr@UK.AC.ed.cstvax
