"Express" is better. I am ok with that. Thanks.

Org; Policy@Ietf. Org; Bert Wijnen (Bert) Subject: Re: FW: [Diffserv] Informal WG last call for draft-ietf-diffserv-new-terms-06.txt The way we have taken to using the word "policy" in our technology is a bit strange - in normal English, "policy" is more abstract and general than a specific set of rules. Hence the problem, I think. How about "express" instead of "define"? Brian Andrea Westerinen wrote: > > But, my issue is with the word, "define" or "specify".
