So, hopefully this group can take Greg’s suggestion to heart. It’s very
much appropriate from my view for us to invite the “Org” folks in to
understand this work done on our behalf as it’s stakeholders, and ask
questions with the goal of moving forward effectively and efficiently. At
the same time, I plan to contribute to  the arduous task ahead of us
leading up to Abu Dhabi, and am finding the work we are doing useful even
if it is just to wrap my head around the available RFC data elements, and
articulate all the abuse issues from a technical perspective for
compromised DNS infrastructures.
