ITEM #1 reference to retrieval and archiving is removed

Item#2 Justification of FINE – sample generic usage "for reactionary analysis of current intruder activity and proactive identification of trends that can lead to incident prevention" e.g. in one scenario, CERT-A may have received a report of an incident from one of its constituencies. The attacker in this case is from a constituency of CERT-B. CERT-A will want to communicate all or parts of the incident report to CERT-B. CERT-B will receive the incident report investigate it and probably return all or parts of the investigation results to CERT-A."

Item#14 Life Cycle of a report vs Life cycle of data The opening or closing of a report does not validate or invalidate the assertions in the report.

Item#15 Move requirements from Operational Model to requirements

Item#16 Requirement # 7.5: definition of “Current Owner”

Item#17 Requirement # 7.6 and 7.8 Additional Reference vs Reference to Advisory

Item#18 Requirement # 7.11 Time reporting Time will be reported in format that can easily be resolved to UTC and/or localtime.

Item#19 Requirement # 7.14 Move from Content requirements to General requirements 5.6. The Format for Incident report Exchange must have a well defined semantics and provide a standard way for extensibility in terms of addition of components and/or extending the components.

New Requirement 5.7. FINE must allow multilingual reports. And in case there multiple language versions of a component of the report FINE must be provide a way to identify which version is authentic. An Incident Report may be multilingual i.e. different parts of the Incident Report may use different languages. It is also possible that multiple versions of parts of the report exist, each version in a different language. The versions may not be consistent.
