So, I can see where there are some cases where ICT's are common and it is possible we need to have a Common Application Class to encapsulate these. We do have work scheduled to evaluate the ICT's we currently have, try to understand can be done via IPS or system configuration(eSMF) or other ways, what is common, what is media specific, etc... So, for now there is nothing in the architecture for this certainly we haven't forgotten. We just need to do a bit more research. thanks, sarah
