Hi Don...

I've included the IP committee and ccn-tech to make sure we get feedback 
from all sides... I'm assuming this to be an report directed towards an 
individual IP (Information Provider) so it could be delivered for 
example) by email with simple text or text-delimited formating. Does 
this, in you mind need  to be an 'on demand' report or can it be set up to 
be generated on a monthly basis?

Another possibility is that we strip your stats out of the site stats and 
copy them into your IP directory on a daily basis... this would allow 
you, as an IP, to develop your own cgi scripts that provided different 
'views' of the data for your own purposes...
