My bad. I thought it did seeing the lively discussion on the list :-)

In general, planned operation and emergency (disaster recovery) do
have different set of policies and processes but I believe we can come
up with something all-in-one.

In terms of the mechanics, emergency and planned rollover are the same
however, processes, for example, authorization (who gives the green
light, in what instances, how it is recorded etc...) and notification
(who notifies whom and how) could be slightly different as emergency
rollovers might have tighter time constraints depending on the
situation.

Yes, I think so. It's just that emergency rollovers would have more provisions.

Thanks!
