[PDB Data Ownership-TF] draft "Data Ownership Policy Document"

[Chris Caputo]

Good here.  I added a comma to your version (between 'data' and 'shall') 
to end up with:

  @@ -677,7 +677,8 @@
   done so by the Network or by a resolution process mediated by the Admin 
   Committee.
 
  -Similarly, conflicted data which has not been published shall not be 
  +Similarly, new data such as that from an IX-F Member Import or which is 
  +entered by a Network which conflicts with existing data, shall not be 
   published until a resolution process has been mediated by the Admin 
   Committee and/or the conflict is resolved due to updated data from the 
   Internet Exchange or the Network.

Please let me know if that works for you and then I'll work to clear it 
with the prior approvers.

Thanks!

Chris
