Re: [gnso-rap-dt] Two items -- revised "reporting" meta-issue draft, and request for permission to include this draft in a memo from IRTP

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i think this memo i'm writing is going to fall in the "here's a memo signed by 
a bunch of supporters" category, rather than anything official from a working 
group.  kindof like the piece a few of us wrote about "thick registries in new 
TLDs" in the last IRTP.  a little less formal -- more along the lines of here 
are a bunch of customers who think a better ticketing system would help a lot 
of us.  budget overlords like this kind of thing (i know, i used to be a budget 
overlord).  :-)

i wanted to tack our draft on the end of the memo as a supporting document 
that's related, but i'm happy to leave it off if it makes folks uncomfortable.
