[gnso-vi-feb10] Group on documenting "harms"

[Jeff Eckhaus <eckhaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As discussed on the call, I would like to move ahead with a group, sub-group or 
whatever formation we decide to document and explore the "harms" that have been 
discussed throughout the VI discussions. The harms that will come to consumers 
has been the reason some have opposed any sort of integration, yet we still do 
not have a definitive list of these harms and how they will occur, if they are 
actual harms or if they have anything to do with integration.  I know there 
have been a few links sent around and side discussions, but I think that now 
that the Initial Report has been submitted, we have time to actually work on 
this project and complete a formal list.

I see the discussion moving into two main areas. Harms from having integration 
and harms from not having integration. I think that once we have established 
each , we may be able to apply those to each proposal. Once this is complete it 
can be included in the updated Initial Report and will most likely help the 
Board in their decision making process since they will be deciding on the 
positive and negative of different levels of integration.

Maybe the best way to get this moving is to start a list below and people add 
their name.
