RE: FW: POLTERM Outline Rough Draft

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

Andrea,

What was sent out was just an outline... there will be (hopefully
in time) a document behind it containing definitions for the list
of terms. It may be unconventional to send out an outline in
advance of a draft, but we were asked to do this by the co-AD
running the POLTERM bof session.

Our original task/goal was to make some sense of existing terms in
existing policy drafts, gather them in one place, and try to resolve
conflicts where seen. This is a very big job to do for all of policy.
We started with what was discussed in the last POLTERM bof, addressing
the existing terms. We tried not to create new terms, when we could
avoid it, thinking it might add to the confusion.

What more would you like to see in the Terminology draft? This
is exactly the kind of input the DT is looking for. If you could
provide specific examples, we'd appreciate it as it would help us
figure out where the draft is going.

Thanks,
-Fran

Fran, I am very disappointed in this.  Given that many months and many
emails have passed, there is little more to review here than was
originally
discussed in the Policy teams and the various other Internet-Drafts.

I care less that you have a complete set of terms than that we have the
terms defined.

Andrea
