I support adding a definition for the term Number Resources to the definitions in section 2 of the NRPM. However, I don't think it should be identified as section 2.17, even though that is the next number for that section. When I look at section 2 as a whole, I believe the term Number Resources logically belongs near the top of the list and not near the bottom of the list.
Further, if added to the top of the list, the added details of Bill's proposed definition seem much more appropriate to me. Finally, I suggest looking at section 2 as a whole, including the introduction and diagram, then how and where the definition of the term Number Resources is best added, and not just the text of the definition to be added.
