[CCWG-ACCT] Board comments on the Mission statement

[Eric Brunner-Williams]

Greg,

Lets keep the notion of "use" to resolution, forwards and backwards, and 
what necessarily rides on top of resolution. In layers, though 
resolution usually takes place over transport, so {udp|tcp}/ip, (in 
English, that is UDP or TCP over IP), what we really mean is a wart off 
of routing, a one time look up before routing.

So if (and only if, according to my prior "what we mean by ..." note), 
an instance of communication involves routing made by a device 
participating in the Default Free Zone, then there is the "use". We 
don't know what is going on below the network layer, so whatever we mean 
by "use" and "resolution" does not imply "regulation" (or awareness) of 
link or physical layers, let alone the electrical (though ip over 
consumer power has been done).

Cheers,
Eric
