Re: [Vrs-development] vrs momentum

[Chris Smith]

Okay.
This is a team effort, with members who presumably have other responibilities 
too, which is why posts seem to fluctuate in quantity!  I like the consortium 
decisions that we seem to be making.  Very healthy.
However, I agree that there needs to be some sort of moderator for the 
development effort, so I'll assume that role if you like until (if...) Bill 
returns (I've been closest to Bill's thoughts from the beginning as we set up 
this project - so I've got a good idea as to where he was going).  However, 
even though Bill had a strong direction, we did kind of agree early on that 
some concepts may not be technically feasible etc (either in terms of time 
frame or "just can't be done" - and that argument still holds.

Anyway as "Acting Chairman" one probably won't interfere too much as the 
group seems to contain some switched on guys who are effectively heading in 
the same direction.  There is nothing wrong in creating a VRS that is *more* 
than was envisaged, just so long as the primary criteria that made the VRS 
such a good idea in the first place are satisfied.

Or something like that.

Anyway - back to getting Goldwater Domains out of the door...... getting 
close now.....
