Dear Roy, Your definition is a substantial improvement over the current text, so I'd prefer it regardless of whether the WG would accept the following tweaks: A party is either a natural person, a legal entity or a set of legal entities that share (a) common owner(s), controller(s) or public identity that is easily discoverable by a user or which a user can be reasonably expected to be aware of. In the case of a set of legal entities the discoverability of their affiliation MUST be provided through a single user interaction from each page, for example by following a single link or through a single click. The reason I'd like to retain the provisioning of affiliation of the original text is that it provides for an objective criterium whether the discoverability principle is upheld or not. Which is helpful for the transparency that this standard should contribute to. Regards, Walter
