Thank you to all for updates to this draft!

My bits of feedback:

I think it was overkill to remove (sometimes referred to as "forensic
reports") from section 7. I don't know enough to know if there's an
IETF terminology reason to remove that, but assuming not, my
recommendation is to restore it, just because it helps drive
understanding -- driving the connection that regardless of which term
is used, that's what we're ultimately referring to. Meaning, it
bridges an understanding gap, and that's generally a positive thing.

Also in section 7, I don't understand this statement: "On the other
hand, a Domain Owner publishing an internal Report Consumer, can put a
dot-forward at that mailbox." Could somebody ELI5? I mean, I know what
email forwarding is, and I understand most of these words, but I think
there's context missing. (I'd also suggest rewording it to not use the
inside baseball term "dot-forward," but I'm not able to offer a
rewrite because I'm missing something about the broader context of the
statement.)

Cheers,
Al Iverson
