Below is another bit of postscript I have thrown together.

It's a map of a backbone that Peter L. and I have been telling people is a good idea for ICMnet, especially in light of the possible disconnection of Asia-Pacific, European, Latin American, African, and Carribbean R&E networks from each other as a result of the NSFNET transition. In such a situation, ICMnet could potentially act as glue between the various R&E networks around the world. [...]

Is this the GIX-like proposal which suggests a layer-two bridge between the East and West Coasts? (Who should pay to connect, for example, Asia-Pacific and Europe? Asia, Pacific and Europe? NSF? Donation by Sprint?) -tjs
