This is true: it's not the first time that someone has failed to grasp the distinction between a user account and a CCN IP to which individual accounts can, so to speak, be accredited. With our current structure which distinguishes between individuals and information providers (which I think is a good one) such confusion is bound on occasion to arise. I think what we need to keep doing is to look at some of our IP materials to ensure that we carefuly and clearly point out the distinctions. There may be room for improvement here. Mostly, once we point out the distinction, people quite quickly grasp the structure. There have only been a couple of 'refractory' cases where people have really had a hard time grasping the structure. ;-> > Once we have provided an IP with a PPP account, we lose control on how > many individuals in the organization use the one account.
