Fri Dec 4 03:31:25 CET 2009

Dear friends,

thanks for carefully reading this proposal for a commons conference, and
especially its list of names; thanks for any input, and don't hesitate to
suggest your own names, indicating the domain/section you belong in.

Please do not forward to any other public list though,

Michel
