Hi David,

(Capturing here what we discussed briefly at today’s FTF meeting.)

I believe the clarification from today was that there was extra information
intended in the “physical goods” use case (e.g., shipping information). I believe
we are going to state that more clearly in a revision, and capture it appropriately
in a draft charter.
