HI Andrew,

I'm not sure I'm following you.

The information about the trusts is in section 3.3.5. 

You are stating that the information about the trusts is wrong? 

Please let me know if I misinterpreted you.


Thanks!

Sebastian

Yes, this is exactly what I was after, but seems to be missing the information provided last year about how interdomain trust accounts fit into the problem:

This worries me, because it implies that either the information is still spread out, or that changes we discuss here are not actually surviving into the docs. 

Thanks,
