I'm not familiar with Huawei's cloud, so I can't offer any specific advice - but in general, I don't think so. Here's my understanding. If Debian delegates creation, then Debian or an individual member owns the account - not SPI. We want to avoid that because: - there's no way for Debian to shield members from the liability created by the provider's contract. - there's no way for Debian to ensure the member doesn't run off with the account, or disappear and lock us out. That means SPI needs to vet & accept those terms. When SPI is happy with the terms, they can sometimes delegate the actual acceptance process back to us. Ross
