RE: [Nea] WG Review: Network Endpoint Assessment (nea)

Vidya:

I'm not sure that the charter actually needs to get into the modes at
all - I'm guessing what happens after NEA (i.e., what is done with the
results from NEA) has zero impact on any work being done in NEA itself.
So, why not simply state something like "Once NEA is conducted on an
endpoint, the results may be used by an organization in accordance with
any policies of the organization itself."?

Discussions with the IAB and IESG prior to external review lead to the addition of the modes discussion. The point is that some networks will demand compliance to grant full access, and other networks will simply notify that host that they are not in compliance. A host my not want to change the configuration to gain compliance. That is acceptable in the second case, but not the first.
