Irrespective of whether auditing is a function or a stand alone entity, 
there
is a need for a complete description of how it works. The authors seem 
to have
a different view from a proposal presented by DKG at the last meeting, 
in terms
of the communication paths involved in auditing. That proposal 
emphasized privacy
for TLS clients, and thus it merits further discussion. So, at this 
time, it seems
premature to declare the design of auditing done. I suggest 6269-bis 
limit its
discussion of auditing to noting which log interfaces are used to 
support the function,
and assume that a separate doc will specify how auditing is performed.
