hi Marika,

sorry this reply took so long.  i've gotten overloaded and am working to get 
that fixed.  meanwhile, response-time has slowed.

i completely support your thoughts, and (since they're overloaded too) i'll add 
that i bet James and Michele would be OK with this approach as well.  a key 
component of all this is figuring out how IRTP-C is going to be implemented.  
that would have the added benefit of providing more clarity to the IRTP-D 
efforts around the Registrant's access to the TDRP.

so.  i'm willing to help figure this out.  but i'm not clear how we're 
organized.  do we have a project leader?  is there a charter that describes the 
work that needs to be done, who's going to do what, by when, etc?  where can i 
help during the course of that work?  it would definitely be nice to have a 
plan in place by Singapore, since we're also trying to have an IRTP-D draft 
done by then and the IRTP-C implementation approach informs the IRTP-D work.
