I see your point Bill as I expressed my previous e-mail. I assume what Nurani was saing that it is not contradictory to the intention and the spirit but I agree with you it is not clearly described in the curent SLA that way.

Would it be agreeable to describe it as the intention of how we would expect to be implemented? (while this may not be clearly stated so in the curent SLA draft)?

Any objections/concerns to go in this direction?
