I don't have any problems with deprecating the first class described and I'd include DMR updates.  



Best, 

Martin

Hi

If we can tussle this apart a bit. There are two classes of templates.
The first class of templates are those that do not appear to be automated.  
Those are orgs, pocs, and requests for number resources. 

The second class of templates are swips - reassign detailed, reassign simple, 
reallocate, and netmod.  These are heavily automated.

For the first class, we like to hear from you if we can deprecate the use 
of templates and use the web interface. 

For the second class, we have had start of a discussion of better ways
to handle automated and bulk submissions at the San Antonio meeting. The 
discussion leaned towards using a RESTful web interface.  Of course, if we 
were to do this, there would be ample time to agree to this approach and to 
cut over. We are not there yet.
