[CRISP-TEAM] [NRO-IANAXFER] Call for submission of comment to the combined ICG proposal and the CRISP Team draft response

[Izumi Okutani]

CRISP Team,


We have received a question and clarification.

While we encourage anyone in the community with a different view from 
the CRISP Team to submit their own comment to the ICG, I think we need 
to respond to the question about our response.

If no objection to this approach, I will draft a response which I hope 
to share on the global list on Monday.
