Hi,

I think the Registries have a larger footprint on the proposed IFR Team than others. 

Not what I generally favor, but seems to be the way we are heading on all CWG teams.  Personally have real difficulties with all of the direct versus indirect customer bias.

Most of the time the IFR will be doing the regular cyclical review and making other kinds of recommendation.  But it may happen that they raise an alarm about things being untenable and the Separability Process needs to be entered.

If we enter a further separation phase the world might care. And while we cannot presuppose anything about the Protocol and Numbers committees, we might find they care and want to participate in the consideration.
