Hector,

Ok.   Unless someone has a convincing reason wh7 not and
expresses it before I get around to it, -03 will be posted
before the deadline.  I-Ds are cheap and I don't need to do a
lot of work to get from the current XML to a posted version.

The note at the end of the Acknowledgments section started out
as strictly a comment about errata.  I've changed the date,
rather arbitrarily, to 1 July.   I am keeping a list although it
is currently scattered through the document and my internal
comments.  I actually have a reason for not including a specific
list at this time:  Suppose someone suggested modifying 5321bis
to require the use of DNSSEC records and validation before an MX
record could be believed.  Because I'm trying to not make
judgments, I would include that request in Appendix G even
though I can predict with great confidence that it would swiftly
be taken off the list for 5321bis when a WG reviews (or triages)
it.  I would like to discuss with the WG whether the person and
others who made similar suggestions (but were otherwise not
influential in contributing  to the document) should be included
in the acknowledgments.  If the conclusion after that WG
discussion is "no", I don't want to remove names between
versions of the I-D.  So, until there is a WG, no explicit
acknowledgments.  One that the WG does the triage and has that
discussion, you and others will be picked back up and, if the WG
so concludes, I'll copy the whole lists of those who contributed
to 2821 and 5321 into this document as well.

best,
   john
