Re: [Ecrit] PhoneBCP



All

I would have thought that motivation should be irrelevant. There are a lot of motives at work here. Should we assume that the document was originally written with only the purest and most altruistic motives (e.g. no thought of business or academic interest at stake)?

The issue is whether the current statement serves a useful purpose in conveying the possibility (well known to be true) of alternative solutions not fully aligned with the current drafts. Nothing in the statement implies that the current drafts are necessarily deficient or that alternative solutions must necessarily be used for some scenarios (even though they optionally can be).

Kind Regards

Stephen

 From my view, the text does not restrict the applicability, nor is 
there a desire to do so.  The text does clarify the assumptions of 
the rest of the text in the document, which I think is helpful.
