Regarding the UKAC Directory policy ...

    o Are there different rules for direct accesses vs. chained accesses ?

    o How   much   of   this  policy  is  driven  by  the  legal
	requirements of retaining status as a member of  the  UK
	Academic  Community  vs.   UK general legal requirements
	vs. good taste.  Looked at from another direction,  what
	are  the  risks  for  a  Directory  provider within this
	system ?  I imagine that one could end up in court being
	sued,  lose  institutional  status,  or  be  picketed by
        swarms of angry subscribers.

    o To complement the policy, what technical means of
         compliance measurement or enforcement are being
 	 discussed or implemented ?
