However, there might be decisions such as "do we have mugs or t-shirts as a giveaway at the hacker session we are holding at the Japanese user conference next month" or "is the correct translation of '"Print to cloud " ... or ..." There are always exceptions to every rule and we don't need to slavishly apply every rule to every circumstance. Our goal should be to ensure that the people taking ownership of "other" lists understand where the boundaries lie and take responsibility for ensuring those boundaries are respected. Ross
