Sure. I will see what I can do prior to the meeting on Monday.
Not anywhere near a final draft but something that puts a stake in the
ground which the TC can move back and forth.
To some degree it is hard to separate scope/goals from the issue of
having the subcommittee. I would probably feel differently than I do if
the goal was to re-write the Cyc ontology.
Suggestions welcome! Please post to the list.
Hope everyone is having a great day!
