+Status of this Memo
+
+   This memo provides information for the Internet community.  This memo
+   does not specify an IAB standard of any kind.  Distribution of this
+   memo is unlimited.
+
+Introduction
+
+   This RFC is being distributed to members of the Internet community in
+   order to solicit their reactions to the proposals contained in it.
+   While the issues discussed may not be directly relevant to the
+   research problems of the Internet, they may be interesting to a
+   number of researchers and implementers.
+
+   There is a group called The Phoenix Group which is in the process of
+   determining the need for a national OS/2 users' group.  This group is
+   targeted for the *individual* user of OS/2, and is designed to
+   provide an effective vehicle through which users can communicate
+   their desires for OS/2 to IBM.  If you work in the corporate
+   Information Technology world, you are no doubt familiar with
+   organizations such as SHARE, GUIDE, COMMON and DECIUS, among many.
+   These organizations serve as a focal point for users, and represent a
+   combined voice to IBM (SHARE, GUIDE and COMMON) and Digital Equipment
+   Company (DECIUS).  The intent of these organizations is to work
+   closely with their respective hardware/software providers to
+   influence their direction of their products, be they operating
+   systems or CPU's.
+
+   To this end, many of us in other electronic fora believe that there
+   is no representative voice for the end-user of OS/2 with IBM.  Thus,
+   The Phoenix Group, is taking a straw poll of OS/2 users in many
+   different electronic fora to determine the need for, and membership
+   potential for such an organization.  The founding council of The
+   Phoenix Group consists of the following individuals:
+
+      Mike Andrews, Eric Brunsen, Max Eidswick, Robin Frank,
+      Stan Hawkins, Jack Hiatt, Bob Holmes, Wayne Holmes,
+      John Schaeffer, and Toby Pennycuff
+
+   You may recognize some of the names in this group, and you may not.
+   However, we are all long-time users of OS/2, and all believe that

+RFC 1501                    OS/2 User Group                  August 1993
+
+
+   such an organization is an absolute necessity.  We would like to get
+   some gauge of how many people would be willing to become a part of
+   such an organization.
+
+   If we receive a strong response, we are prepared to approach IBM
+   PSP's senior management regarding our proposal, and work with them to
+   formulate an organization which meets both parties' best interests.
+   If you would have an interest in joining such a group, please send a
+   note to the following address on the Internet with your name and
+   address:
+
+      Z2934@AA1PROFS.IBMMAIL.COM
+          or
+      BRUNSENE@EMAIL.ENMU.EDU
+
+   We will compile a database of respondees, and will keep everyone
+   notified of our progress electronically.  We all look forward to your
+   comments and suggestions.
