To: International Executive Committee

I've asked a few times for guidance on using the railroad link into Japan. I haven't received any, so I hope you'll all agree with this decision I've made as Secretary-General.

On February 8, I would like to begin routing traffic from the Fujisawa campus of Keio University for a three-week period. This will give us Fujisawa full access to the DS3 and will give us some preliminary statistics.

Following the conclusion of the three-week period, I would like to give the line for 1 week to each of four Japanese campuses to use as part of the "University of Tomorrow" program in Expo 96.

It would be very nice if each of the campuses would take the time to write up a few web pages about how they used the big pipe and to tell us a bit about their campus and their students. It would be very nice if these pages were in English and Japanese. This is an opportunity to bring together a small team of foreign language students, business students, computer science students, artists, and others at the campus to open a pavilion in the world's fair.

In order to implement this decision, I need the Fujisawa campus to accept this offer. I've sent a copy of this letter to the not-rr list for Osamu-san to take proper actions.

I can give the WIDE Board 10 days to select the four other schools. If they are unable to make a decision in that period, I will make a decision at that time as to the additional four schools that will be able to use the line.

Regards,

Carl Malamud
