[p2p-research] [p2pf] Launch of P2P Research Group

Sat Apr 18 15:26:21 CEST 2009

Hi Michel,

Thanks.  A constitution isn't a bad idea, but rather than one drafter, I'll
look for a starting point that is more collaborative and perhaps an open
section of the wiki could be used to gather broad inpur.  I'd be happy to
shepherd and encourage that process.

Perhaps others with interests in open and collaborative governance could
take significant roles in editing.
