<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I missed today’s call, but as I commented by chat in the last call the main issue was that old “No 2” was a general statement for RAs issuing `Mailbox-validated` profile, without discriminating “internal” or “external” users, so the intent,
as reflected in the wording of V1.0.0 was totally different to what is stated now. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Said that, the new wording is much closer to what we’d have liked to see there in the first version, but I fail to understand why the ERA can’t use 3.2.2.2 also for domains they control, if they wish to do so. <o:p></o:p></p>
