RE: FW: POLTERM Outline Rough Draft

[Francis Reichmeyer -NJ <FranR@iphighway.com>]

The design team working on the policy terminology draft, originally
discussed in the POLTERM BOF at the last IETF, received a request to
send out the outline for the next revision of the draft. Here it is.
Please send comments/questions/concerns/etc. to the list. Do people
feel the terms included sufficiently cover the needs of the various
WGs working on policy? What term, if any, are missing, or shouldn't
be here?

Thanks,
-Fran (and the rest of the DT)
