Can you please clarify what you mean by "fulfil the mission for that
mailbox" and the "intended purpose" you mention in section 3.1 of the new
text? The reason I ask is that the purpose does not seem to be defined in
an earlier section. My reading of what you have written is that this became
policy it would require that reports can be made and that these reports
must be acknowledged. But it seems that there would be no obligation for
reports to be investigated or acted upon.

Have I misunderstood what is intended?

Thanks,

Leo Vegoda
