Hi<BR>
<BR>
If we can tussle this apart a bit. There are two classes of templates.<BR>
The first class of templates are those that do not appear to be automated. <BR>
Those are orgs, pocs, and requests for number resources.<BR>
<BR>
The second class of templates are swips - reassign detailed, reassign simple,<BR>
reallocate, and netmod. These are heavily automated.<BR>
<BR>
For the first class, we like to hear from you if we can deprecate the use<BR>
of templates and use the web interface.<BR>
<BR>
For the second class, we have had start of a discussion of better ways<BR>
to handle automated and bulk submissions at the San Antonio meeting. The<BR>
discussion leaned towards using a RESTful web interface. Of course, if we<BR>
were to do this, there would be ample time to agree to this approach and to<BR>
cut over. We are not there yet.<BR>
<BR>
