RE: [Asrg] 6. Proposals - CRI Draft - 4.1 Loop Avoidance



So, until (if) the self-nomination kicks in an a CR BCP is submitted,
can the existing CRI statement be changed:

FROM:


"For CRI systems that issue challenge messages, it is also recommended
that each CRI system use a local systemwide user, such as cri@foo.com,
for issuing challenges rather than preserving the original sender's
email address as the sender of the challenge message."


TO:


"For CRI systems that issue challenge messages, it is also recommended
that each CRI system use the original sender's email address for issuing
challenges to reduce unecessary overhead."
