This is okay with me.  Strictly speaking, issue (d) does not directly 
relate to the work of the task force, but this information may be 
useful to some other or future task force, and there's no sense going 
back to registrars multiple times on such closely related requests.

This is fine too.

I plan on circulating the other questions later today, along with some 
explanation of what goes where.

I definitely think the TF members should sign off on the questions 
prior to their dissemination.  One option is to work this all out via 
e-mail, including a quick vote to make sure everyone is happy with 
them.  A second alternative is to continue to work on language on the 
list, and then  vote on our next call.

Thanks for the update.  The primary reason to have a call next week 
would be to finalize/approve questions to be sent out.  If people 
believe this can be accomplished on the list, we could potentially put 
off a teleconference until the new year.  I'd be glad to hear opinions 
on this point.
