Looks good, but re: proposed addressing:

- take every opportunity to use ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (and especially the
  ServiceNow-recognised tech-contact address wheel at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au ) to
  emphasise our part of UWA rather than our separation from UWA

- take every opportunity to put as much as possible of the conversation
  (or at least the fact that we're having a conversation) into the public domain

  - there's a hard-to-stop feedback loop when we don't

  - the people following this up at both the UWA and the UCC end will
    inevitably change. Aside from the immediate in-the-draft quote of
    Tim's lovely words from 2021-09-20 , a lot of it will, by default,
    be lost to any new people joining the conversation

  - as opposed to being able to link to:
    https://lists.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/pipermail/tech/2021-October/005488.html

  - be alert for important replies coming in personally to you, more
    often by accident than design (but not always)

Nick.
