I agree it looks odd in where it's place but I have concerns about
simply deleting it.

This was added to address a point made on the IANAXFER list, and the
CRISP Team agreed to incorporate. We have to reconsider why we haven't
incoroprated this feedback if we delete.

My suggestion is to move to the last paragraph of III.A I, as initially
suggested on the ML, or we address this in the editorial version, if
this idea is supported.

If this could be done quickly I'm OK.
(I see you are offering to work on it, so I think it's fine)

I'm OK with this suggestion, if we could number III A list the same.
I feel the format of numbering used in  listing proposed elements in III
A, and number of each title should be consistent.

I'm happy for you to work on them as you described, except 1.

Thanks,
