[Michael Willett]

Below is a summary of our recent dialogs on simplifying the PMRM structure. Abbreviated/informal definitions for the Services are given. These definitions would be (re)formalized. Core Policy Services:       Agreement: determine and/or arbitrate PI permissions       Usage: manage permissions, policies, use of PI       Security: provide data protection Privacy Assurance Services      Validation: check PI for accuracy      Certification: check and confirm credentials      Enforcement: audit for and react to exception conditions Presentation and Life Cycle Services       Interaction: inter/intra communications; actor persona       Access: allow subject to view and suggest corrections to PI held by other Actors Each Service is composed of a set of Functions drawn from Function categories:    - Configure    - Input    - Process    - Output Configure could also be called: Setup or Initialize Below this Function level, Mechanisms are employed to achieve those functions. The definitions of Actor, Touch Point, and System are still wobbly. Michael
