I found this message, and I realize I should have responded sooner.

I spend less time here than I should, as RSSAC admin stuff takes much of
my time. See it from the positive side: I fend it off from you so you
can discuss the cool stuff. ;-)

The document was indeed on the agenda for the Sep 3 RSSAC teleconf and
it was unanimously and happily approved for publication without as much
as a question.

It was sent on a 48-hour notice to ICANN's Board of Directors (as we do
- so they can prepare for the barrage of questions from journalists
;-)), and, I must say that I'm positively amazed that it was picked up
by Steve Crocker (the chariman of the board) who went on to find a
techincal nit in it - one that we've obviously all missed! :-) (Simply
the use of the word "average" where the obvious intent was "median".)

After confirming with the work party that this was indeed a "typo", this
is now being addressed before publication, but the doc will go out Real
Soon Now(TM).

The document has received quite appreciative words from the people who
have seen it thus far as a thorough work of high quality, and I can only
concur.

I would hereby like to extend my warmest thanks to those involved in
creating it. I'm impressed by the quality and timeliness by which is was
produced. It is well and much appreciated.

Thanks to Duane for running the work party, and to Joe, Jaap, John B,
Brian, Shumon, Warren, Daniel M, Shinta, and Matthew for contributing
your time and expertise, and, of course, to our ICANN staff support
Kathy, Steve S, and Barbara for helping to create this document! If
there is someone I've missed, I apologize, and if so, you should feel
warmly included in my thanks.

				Best regards,
