Re: delegation definition

+1

The definition is clear. However, I am wondering if we really need, 
within the model, to specify who is responsible for the outcome of the 
delegated work. In other words, wouldn't it be better to defined 
delegation as:

/"Delegation is the assignment of authority to an agent (by itself or by 
another agent) to carry out a specific activity as a delegate or 
representative/."

Thanks, khalid
