I also think that we need to review the NEW uploads. But this is not what I discuss here. I propose to let all DDs look what is in the NEW queue. (This would of course help to review the NEW uploads). > The problem is also one of accountability.

I think that the claim that some people can be sued if some DD screwed up is vague, and is really difficult to discuss factually. I think that if the NEW queue in the ftp-master mirror is readable for all the DDs, there is no risk for the DPL, his delegates, or the sponsor of the provider of the ftp-master mirror machine and connectivity to be sued.
