Re: New ID-Checklist to replace ID-nits (fwd)

Hi,

I agree with Pekka and Steve. I think all the new I-Ds should have the
new boiler plate, but there should be a "transition period" to the new
boiler plate for the existing I-Ds. 

For example, the users that use the word template have to do quite a bit
copy-pasting around.

Cheers,

Jonne.
