The obvious matter is of doing what this list is for - commenting on and
discussing licenses that are up for approval.

There was a suggestion of forming focus-groups of people who could commit to
more in-depth examination and writing semi-formal reports (made by myself).
Those members of the board who monitor and post to this list responded in a
non-committal but quite cold fashion, so some of use decided to try it,
although we haven't got far as I at least was suddenly more busy than I
expected. This situation should be different soon.

When we have made one sample report we will say what the OSI Board have to
say...
