[Smcwg-public] [EXTERNAL]- Clarifications on Section 1.3.2.1

Hello,
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. 

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. 

BR/P
