Thank you very much to Michael Alan and Bill for working on this.

To Alan's comments - in short I  agree with all the changes suggested.

Consistency with RFP may be preferable but don't have strong opionion.

I agree.

That makes sense - five processes.

OK. Let's be consistent with the use by AFRINIC.

That works for me.

I leave it to RIR staff's comment on what works best.
(I agree with Alan's observation)

I agree.

I agree. Should be described as the target.
taget --> target

I'm OK with this.
