My current thought is "Administrative Environment" (AE)...
I'm not certain I understand what we're trying to name,
John, et al,
Here's the text from the current email-arch draft. If it is not sufficiently
clear about the nature of this entity, please elaborate, if possible, so I can
consider how to improve the description:
"Operation of Internet Mail services is apportioned to different providers (or
operators). Each can be composed of an independent Administrative Unit (AU).
Examples include an end-user operating their desktop client, a department
operating a local Relay, an IT department operating an enterprise Relay and an
ISP operating a public shared email service. These can be configured into many
combinations of administrative and operational relationships, with each
Administrative Unit potentially having a complex arrangement of functional
components."
