By "out of scope" I hope you mean "not currently covered by the

Having checked the charter, I *do* think it is very much in scope.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Thanks. And this version is
much preferable to the other version that starts with
". . . log:uri . . . ", because as I pointed out, the IR that
