Re: FW: POLTERM Outline Rough Draft

[David Harrington <dbh@cabletron.com>]

Hi,

In section 4.3, is "Contexts" as defined in SNMP?
Since SNMP is a protocol that may be used to configure policy, we should
avoid overloading a term that will conflict with the similar usage
defined by one of the standards-track protocols.
