I think I'm echoing John here when I say that in this conversation we've
touched on a lot of complicated tangential issues, but none of them are
relevant to approving this request.

There have been a bunch of concrete "issues" raised, but as far as I can
tell, all of them are of the form "Have you considered that alternative
XYZ might be better?"  And it appears that the people behind the
registration either have already considered those questions or are
currently resolving them.

So it seems to me that all we're waiting for is for Scott to provide the
final version of the registration request (and aligning that ITU
internal document).

Am I mistaken?
