Your use of "entire membership" here implies every OMTP member is a  
member of BONDI and consequently, every OMTP member has agreed to the  
Turin Rules for these DAP WG inputs. Is this true?

Also, there appear to be members of OTMP/BONDI that are not members  
of the DAP WG [1] (e.g. Ericsson, Ikivo). Would you please confirm  
the difference list i.e. which OMTP/BONDI members contributed to the  
inputs submitted to the DAP WG but are not a member of DAP?
