Good point.  I'll compile a list.

The next important step for OpenISO.org is however that we should put
out a public announcement inviting people to join discuss at OpenISO.org
and contribute to collaboratively creating a "problem report" document
which clearly explains all the main problems, i.e. those issues which
are so serious that no self-respecting standardization organization
should accept a spec with one or more of those problems as a standard.

In regard to this I would like to ask you (the people who are here
already) to provide suggestions of text snippets that I could use in
this announcement/invitation.

If possible please post those text snippet suggestions by Thursday
(2007-10-11, 2007-W41-4) evening.  I will then create a draft and post
it here to provide opportunity both for discussions of substantive
content and for making suggestions of improving the clarity of the
explanation of what OpenISO.org is all about.

Greetings,
Norbert.
