I don't know - what qualifies as "enough"? I heard back, positively,
from several people, including some OGB members. Also, I spoke to you
and John about it before I sent it, to get ideas for the original wording.

So, is that enough?  The only "negative" feedback I really got was "this
still might not be enough" but nothing along the lines of "this is a
waste of time"

So, do we have a place with all of our policies on it? I wasn't sure what
number we were up to...
