Re: [Din] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-mcfadden-consolidation-taxonomy-02.txt

Hi Mark,

This is great work, I am very happy it is happening!

I think it would be great if we could add some text on 1) geographical consolidation, 2) the relationship between centralization and consolidation, and 3) what the opposites of the different kinds of consolidation could be described.

Happy to contribute text or review, whatever works best! If you would like text suggestions (pull request?), let me know how/where you'd like to receive them.

Best,

Niels

This taxonomy draft attempts to explain what a "definition" is difficult: centralization means different things to different people in different contexts. The DINRG workshop on the topic rightly identified this and this draft attempts to document work that others have done in trying to come to a "definition."
