Hi Harald,

It is definitely possible for us to send liaison statements via the
appropriate channel, but I am missing some context.  Can you provide a
citation to the document from which the excerpt comes?  (It appears to be
labeled a white paper, so the first step may be to confirm that its
description and the underlying specs say the same thing.)

regards,

Ted Hardie
