<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Becky Burr: Well, no, I mean, I think that the point is - and Greg has just echoed me in this - what we are talking about is services, not service providers. So
the question is what is the underlying service, not what is the nature of the business. So I guess I agree with - I agree with the way it is set up in this language here.<br>
<br>
Thomas Rickert: Yes, and I guess that what you’ve just refined is a better description of what Greg I think meant by saying differing classes of services - class of businesses. So I guess that’s helpful. So I think we can confirm and please let me know
if you do not agree with this, that that we are looking for a technology-neutral description of this.<br>
<br>
But still if we’re using the technique that Kavouss has suggested, for example, we could have examples of technology to illustrate what we mean by the definition that should then go - or by the language that should then go into
the bylaws. Alan, you’ve raised your hand.<br>
<br>
Alan Greenberg: Yeah, thank you. It [dawns] on me that when we're looking at the two classes of service, someone may be offering a graphics design service over the web. Clearly, we are never saying we are going to be regulating the graphics design service.
So at some level we could not - we don’t have to differentiate because we’re - the higher level service is always carved out. But since the word has two different very distinct meanings it’s probably better to be clear. Thank you.<br>
