[cabfpub] Results on Ballot 187 - Make CAA Checking Mandatory

Gerv, I would suggest simply removing "iodef" from "CAs MUST process the issue, issuewild, and iodef property tags". To me, the word "process" means to take some kind of action, as we must do with issue and issuewild tags. From what others have said, if the iodef record isn't marked critical, I can ignore it, and if it is marked critical, I can ignore it as long as I recognize it as an iodef record. I wouldn't call that "processing" the record.

As others have noted, this is not a bug, and the text is correct as it stands. However, you are not the first person to trip over this, so if you have suggestions for how the meaning can be retained but the text clarified, I would be happy to hear them.
