[Diffserv] Re: WG poll on choice of terminology

Hi,

The poll ended yesterday. After removing one or two duplicates, the result was
23 people who preferred Per-Domain Behavior versus 16 who preferred
Intra-Domain Service. This is a fairly rough consensus, but clear enough
for a terminology choice. So Per-Domain Behavior it is, and the next version
of the ""BA"" draft will reflect this.
