["John M. Stonham" <jmstonham AT mindspring.com>]

I work for an Internet start-up based in RTP called Subotai, and I would
welcome the opportunity to participate in such a forum.

Subotai's focus is *very* internationalized, and as such I feel we would
have something to offer.

If there is a strong interest within InterNetWorkers in discussing this
further, I would be willing to make an effort to attend this Thursday's
meeting (I'm scheduled to go out of town), as I feel it is an excellent
idea.

regards,

John
