Title: Re: [soa-rm-ra] and one more thing on the permission, obligation, ... topics related to policy and trust
I don’t like inclination. I am inclined to do a number of things but it doesn’t raise the conscience all the time, to me a key ingredient in intent.
Intent in this context seems to imply a desire to perform an act, the decision to commit a certain act. Decisions are made after considering options. I am inclined to digest my food but I don’t really think about it.

Hmmm. My takeaway on intention involves being bent on, strenuously occupied or resolved to do something (based on a goal). Intent seems actively inclined to act whereas willingness seems passive.
How about:
"Intent is an inclination by a member of a social structure to perform actions that achieve a stated goal.”
Cheers,
Jim
