Hi Samita: I fail to see how we disagree ???
I am suggesting here to change the text that indicates what the solution should *be* into text that indicates what the solution should *be doing*. And we seem to agree on what it should be doing. I certainly read your draft and liked it a lot. I do think there is a need to couple proactive "white board" registration (such as detailed in the BbR draft) with your reactive model and I'm ready to work with you on that anytime.
