22 Yes, 7 instead of 14 days sounds good.

24 For the rest: Note that this is the QA team, as well as "QA lead or two
25 members"; hence the paragraph deals with the persons whom requested the
26 suspend to provide it. It doesn't involve validating / reversing it.

28 Given that this has been typed years ago; we probably might just want
29 to rewrite it from scratch, discussing first what we actually want and
30 then write a proper patch that deals with all the cases rather than
31 some rules that leave open a lot of questions.
32
33 How long is temporary? What happens after that? Provide to who? ...?

38 It could be perceived as outside ComRel's scope, as a technical matter.
