Ok.

For the benefit of the editor:

Let us replace:

"There is an open issue with respect to NEA applicability in 
deployment scenarios where the endpoint is owned by a party that is 
different from the organization providing network access."

with

"NEA is applicable to computing environments of enterprises where 
endpoints accessing the enterprise's network are owned and/or 
expected to conform to the policies set forth by the organization 
that owns and operates the network.  All other cases are outside the 
scope of the NEA charter, since we do not know that NEA would be 
useful in such cases."
