Again. I agree with Sam and John here.  Getting out of the over specification 
here is important.  The IASA will need to write-up some rules, but I think this 
BCP is the wrong place, having some operational experience is important.

I support the intent of this paragraph and the implied move away from
the current out sourcing text.  I think the last sentence could use
some work but could accept the current text.
