Fight? What fight? I just returned from very peaceful Oslo!... Why I mentioned governance when it could be just a good design practice is because of the difference between a Policy and an Agreement. I prefer avoiding negotiations on good practice, i.e. making it a bit less good or 'more practical'; SOA needs right solutions instead of 'we did our best', which may simply be not enough. So, the Policy promotes the good practice. In current crisis situation, there is no time for kindergarten team work, the job has to be done by the professional; others are asked not to be bothered.

Alternatively, you could call that 'design practices'. Getting fancy and calling it 'governance' helped exactly two people: Roman and Anne.

"You can lead a horse to water..." but the key is to keep the horse from pissing in the pond. Keep up the good fight. Jeff
