1.) As a basis for discussion, the current definition of "Guidance" includes the following three examples: "Configuration", "Profiles", and "Policies".

Is configuration guidance? The assumption is that guidance – in the context of SACM - is machine-processable, because the architecture draft (3.1.3.1) states that "A collector consumes Guidance and/or other Posture Assessment Information". The terms Guidance, Configuration, Posture Assessment Information, Profiles, Policies have to be better aligned and defined.

2.) The current definition of "Guidance" also highlights that guidance is transported via the management plane.

Is that correct? A related question (do we need to distinguish control plane and management plane?) is raised in Issue https://github.com/sacmwg/draft-ietf-sacm-terminology/issues/3 Management Plane vs. Control Plane.
