Jeroen, please calm down a bit.

Right now, there is no PI.  If 2006-01 goes through (which I see pretty
good chances for, given that there are mainly textual details left, not 
unsolvable fundamental issues), PI can be used for the meeting network.

Which leaves the problem of "an entity assigning to itself, and doing a
contract with itself" - which can be seen as a problem with neutrality.

Remco has made a suggestion how to tackle *this*, and I see this as the
way forward.
