My two cents is that this would be an excellent comment on the record -- I'd love a discussion at the level of defining security risks to be part of the official federal commentary, because this is going to be a thorny implementation problem.

It would be great for people to post an update like "comment submitted" on threads like this one to make sure it was entered as a comment into the official record.

I'm sure these comments in themselves are helpful to @SimingtonFCC individually, but having them be part of the official record gives the FCC legal grounds to consider them and incorporate them into rules.

Completely agree! The public record in this case is going to be what agencies and industry looks to, far more than whatever I might happen to personally believe. I'm going to get as much information from this discussion as I can, but every participant should feel free to comment on the record, or to get their employers, companies, trade associations, ad-hoc working groups, concerned citizens congregating on Discord to complain, etc. to do so as well.
