Hi all,
 
These are the criteria used for the classification in the current version of
the draft:
 
4.1.  Commercial model / promoter
4.2.  Goals and motivation
4.3.  Administrative model
4.4.  Technologies employed
4.5.  Typical scenarios
 
After the discussion in the GAIA list last weeks, we (the authors) think
that the names of the categories for the classification could be simplified.
This is our new list, which includes some slight modifications:
 
4.1 Promoter
4.2 Purpose
4.3 Governance and sustainability model
4.4 Technologies employed
4.5 Typical scenarios
 
The "promoter" is the "entity behind the network". The information about
commercial model would be moved to 4.3. In fact, as Panos remarked, in the
current version we don't talk at all about commercial models in this part.
 
The "purpose" includes the goals, objectives, benefits and motivations of
the network.
 
The "governance and sustainability model" would inlcude the governance
mechanisms and the "business model", which in turn includes the ownership of
network equipment.

Best regards and thanks a lot!
 
Jose
