Hi Ray,

And for the benefit of others, the wording under discussion appears in the very first bullet of the Introduction section.  The old text was:

  Defines measurements and metrics to ensure Root Server Operators (RSOs) are meeting a minimum level of performance.

It was pointed out (by Ray I believe) that the word "ensure" was maybe problematic given the paragraph later in the section about how none of these are *binding* absent contractual obligations.  There was some suggestions made during the call and in the chat.  Russ' proposed text included the word "appropriate" which I took some issue with.   After the work party call, Russ, Steve, and myself met and we felt that the text below would be best:

  Defines measurements and metrics that Root Server Operators (RSOs) meet to provide a minimum level of performance.

Ray (and everyone) are you okay with that?
