I think that *is* an issue. Automation makes things much easier for
everyone and shouldn't stress the admins so much.

new IRTC. :)

Personally I think it ought to be manditory to submit atleast one IRTC entry
every year... Could you add a check into the POV code? ;-)

Ah, must be the same Randal Schwartz who said "I have my fingers
in far more pies than I can ever eat in a lifetime already." ;)

Warp's response is right on the money here. Nearly-full automation is very
important; I can vouch for that from seeing the IRTC run via the admin
list. Everytime you have to do something manually it adds the potential for
something to go wrong, plus requires someone to be available at the right
time to do it.

I would like to add my thanks to you both for this. I would also like to call
for a big thank you to Steve (St) for setting up the TC-RTC in the interim. I
know that he has spent a great deal of effort and money on this for the
community.
Well done! Everyone.
Regards
Stephen
