Re: Multipel CNAs for software and coordination for issues under embargo

Another approach might be pre-agreements or other criteria between CNAs 
that, in this 
type of situation, resolve the overlapping scopes ahead of time.  For 
example, CNAs
could agree to monitor non-overlapping lists, or stake a unique claim 
to the
responsibility for monitoring a certain source or type of source.
