I don't recall the last part of the answer, or in any case, I don't agree with 
it.  Why shouldn't RUP encompass inter-CDN interactions?

Since the scribe attributed the other questions to individuals, it should 
attribute this one to me.  I would also modify it to put "smoke-filled chat
rooms" in quotes, because it was meant somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and add 
Mark's response that he believed that it was genuinely quiet and not a result 
of private conversations that were not making their way to the list.
