Re: [soa-rm-ra] meaning of delegation and adopting goals

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Looks good to me, but we need to extend to the transfer of some 
measure of shared goals (the intersection of A's & B's goals) to C 
and then to the RWE and any subsequent re-evaluation of the efficacy 
of the transfer of shared goals. Intent plays a role in this as do 
the other items cited in Dave's slide.

Cheers,
Rex
