[CRISP-TEAM] [NRO-IANAXFER] Thanks, and comments on the second draft proposal

[Izumi Okutani]

Thank you Nurani, this is extremely helpful.

The parts other than what you have listed may have implications to the
nuances we have agreed.

Michael has already worked to incorporate edits from Paul so we have two
options to work on other parts (ie not simple to incorporate):

 a. See updated draft from Michael an incorporate the part where no one
    has raised issue about changing the language.

 b. Not incorporate the parts other than what's listed by Nurani

Let me hear your prefered option on the ML as much as possible and
confirm at the call today.

My preference would be b. in the interests of time, while this would add
extra work for Michael and may delay the editorial version to be
published. Let's also confirm in terms of the schedule.

Please  also see my comments inline.

I agree what you listed here are straight forward.

+ 1. Have no opinion about capitalizing.

+ 1 including leaving to RIR staff to decide associations/organisations.

Perhaps someone from RIR could help us confirm the process with your
respective policy staff?

As one more possible point which may be straight forward.

A.2.
It is the preference of the RIR communities that all relevant parties
acknowledge that fact as part of the transition.

Comment from PW:
"It is not clear which fact is referred to here."

This looks to me like a part which simply needs clarification in the
language from the previous sentence.
