Re: Change Proposals: Issue 10

Hi Jeff ­ I'll put together another use case later today or tomorrow.

Issue 10 isn't designed to address the service provider use case. If you
disagree with that, please let me know and cite some examples.

My sense is --we already have definitions for service providers and while I
don't have knowledge of all the companies you cite below, I would imagine
that some of them consider themselves service providers in at least part of
their businesses. 


Cheers,

Alan Chapell
