[ih] Memories of Flag Day?

[Greg Skinner]

I found a couple more nuggets <https://garlic.com/~lynn/2000e.html#18> from Anne & Lynn Wheeler’s collection — an announcement from a CSNET staffer about the upcoming transition, and a followup about a month later giving some opinions about how it went.

BTW, what immediately follows the transition announcement on that page is the first issue of Geoff Goodfellow’s Internet Crucible.  It may provide some perspectives, at least, regarding Jack’s questions about how the management framework during the time of the flag day faded away, etc.
