i like this idea -- ensure there's consensus on the tech side of things,
and then go to the IMC-US group in case there are are any major concerns.
i think that with the tech team overseeing stuff and Acorn putting some
time and energy behind things that we could be up and running within a
month or two.

so next steps would be -- 1. get a consensus that this is a good idea on
this group (anyone object?); 2. create a canonical list of what needs to
happen to become fully operational; 3. get started on implementing what
needs to happen.

if folks can put together a list (numero 2 above) then we can allocate
tasks and get started immediately -- anyone want to reiterate all the
different tasks we need to accomplish before going live?
