Back in ODRL V1.1 [1] we grouped all the actions into related categories (like "usage", "transfer", "asset mgt", "reuse")....should we reconsider this now (and make those groups actions themselves?)

Also, I notice that all/most of the definitions now begins with "The Assigner permits/prohibits the Assignee(s) to execute the act of..." instead of "The act of..."
Does this create issues with ODRL policy types that do not have assigners and/or assignees?
