These other RSSAC publications place additional expectations on RSOs in specific circumstances.

You would do that without a called-out expectation? That seems lax to me.
This problem is also multi-fold, IMHO.
I think Duane's suggestion makes some sense: there are requirements from other RSSAC documents that should also be considered expectations. Including 061, 047, and probably some others.
Ugh, good point. RSSAC047 does hand-wave at expectations, while cautiously saying that the expectations aren't really expectations yet, but might become so with there is a GS in the future.
So maybe the list should be generic and point to "RSOs are also expected to conform to expectations defined in other published RSSAC documents" and list the ones that we *know* we mean now, but hint that future documents that define "expectations" about a particular subtopic may appear in the future.
That makes the reader of 001v3 have to look other places just to understand what the external expectations are. I'd rather at least have some additional sentences for context. The downside of that is that some readers will read those sentences and think that's all there is to it.
Then we will have to argue about which documents have real "expectations" in them.
I would have put the quotes around "real".
Which brings me to my next point: we could probably have made the expectations in 061 a bit more explicit. You'd have to read it (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) to figure out what is an expectation vs other discussion in the document.
Huh. I thought that the expectations in 061 were quite explicit. Maybe let's start a different thread about updating 061 if it is unclear to you, an RSO. --Paul Hoffman
