Folks,
The current draft refers to a collectively-managed set of email components
as distinct from some other, independent collectively-managed set of
components -- as an Administrative Unit (AU). Examples might be a personal
MTA, as one AU, an email hosting service as another, an integrated service
(AOL, Yahoo, MSN, etc) as another, and so on.
...
We need *some* term, so that such references as "boundary MTA" can be
meaningful -- what is it the boundary of?
I am still searching for a term that folks will be willing to use. The
various ones I've suggested have not resonated with folks.
Last week, I was told to see whether an acronym might do better. Here is my
first candidate, with an eager request for anything better that folks like:
Common Operating Group (COG)
A COG is a collection of Internet Mail components
subject to a single set of administrative operations
policies.
Comments?
