SM, Thank you. I'll respond to only one point this time, since it's Friday and since I did break the 10% barrier this week, sorry: "If it is all about connecting people, we can live without the "MUST" in there for five days. After all, the experiment must reflect operational practice for us to understand how the Internet works in different countries." To which I can say: Experiencing how the net works in any country can usually be accomplished by wandering down the street to the nearest Cyber Cafe or <American Brand Name #1 for coffee> or <American Brand Name #2 for so-called fast food> both of which exist in great abundance in most parts of the developed world, and OK, I will add "sadly". What service we should expect at the venue itself is a different matter. We have, as you point out, a requirements document, which the host is expected to follow. One might even call it the Host Requirements Document, but then only the Grey Beard people on this list would get the pun. Ole Ole J.
