The odd thing about email is that it only enforces envelope syntax, 
leaving users free to mention things that existed before a list was 
created.

As you don't recall the conversation, if you can find a transcript, 
look to the discussion involving Steve Holsten, Jeff Neuman, Becky 
Burr, Steve Del Bianco, and myself, all non-staff, and Kurt Pritz, Dan 
Halloran, and John Jeffries from Staff, on the rational for the 
unilateral amendment Staff position. You could also ask several people 
who were there and paying attention during that exchange.
There wasn't an enumerated list of harms, like wart on left little 
finger, wart on right side of nose, chilblains on the toes, etc., etc. 
It was bad acts in the registrar space being repeated in the registry 
space, to paraphrase Kurt.
This was followed by the discussion of vertical integration, lead by 
Margie for Staff, and I wish I'd had the Staff CRAI SOW then, rather 
than five months later.
As for the CRAI SOW, it is available, I've posted it previously too.
