Re: [provision] Renaming the PSU

[mpolan@ca.ibm.com]

I prefer PSO.

Other options: Provisioning Service Consumer - PSC, Provisioned Resource
Consumer - PRC.

2 and especially 3 below seem to overlap with the intent of the PSx-ID

At the F2F this week in Redmond I took an action item to open a list
discussion on renaming the Provisioning Service User in our concept model.
The idea is that although the provisioning and management of user related
data is a major target for the SPML specification, our charter is to define
a model that generically supports provisioning of data elements.  In short,
nothing in the model protocol or specification should be specifically tied
to an account provisioning (aka User provisioning) model.  With this in
mind we looked for a new term to represent this model element (previously
referred to as the PSU and subsequently the PSU-ID).   During the F2F we
used the term PSx and PSx-ID to refer to what is in essence a request or
object collector that is useful in the expression or collection of PSTD.

I'd like to open this renaming decision to the list.  Please choose one of
the following by return mail before the end of the day Wednesday November
27(superscript: th).

   1.      Provisioning Service Object ? PSO
   2.      Provisioning Request Collector ? PRC
   3.      Provisioning Service Handle ? PSH
