OK - I'll start a doc - stick it on my website and we can bring ideas from
anyone on the list into it (and anyone else too for that matter). We can
tell people via the sl4 lkist when useful increments of progress have
been made and invite people to review the document.
It'll be a slow process because I can't put more than a small
amount of time into it.
It might be an idea if interested people indicated their interest by
private email to me to save a flurry on the list.

Could someone from the Singularity Institute join this project too - since
the Institute has done more on this issue than anyone else?
Unless people ask for anonymity I would indicate the names of all
contributor to the document.
I wouldn't see the aim of the document to be to get to "one final view".
Rather I think it would be good to see if there are any coherent clusters
of views and perhaps see how many people support each cluster.
Then it would be up to everyone/anyone to decide what action should
be taken in the light of the document content.
If anyone has any other ideas for process let me know.
Cheers, Philip
