That was responding to a point made by you; you said it might be
inappropriate for the CAB Forum to require posting to m.d.s.p. And I
agree - it's outside the CAB Forum's remit. This is what I meant by the
"overreaching" I was avoiding. My proposed solution is that the BRs
require the existence of the report, and the root program requirements
say where it needs to be placed.

I'm ambivalent. It's one more thing for a CA to remember to do, and as
a root program person who will be requiring them to be sent to me
anyway, it doesn't add value for me. But I have no strong objection :-)
