Vidya  good commentary, maybe I can add some more. The NEA, per the
charter-need's justification statement says:


Network Endpoint Assessment (NEA) architectures have been implemented
in the industry to assess the "posture" of endpoint devices

Ah two new terms of Art - "Posture" and "Devices".

I only see one. I believe "device" is a fairly well-understood term, though perhaps "node" would have been more appropriate in this context.

However, I completely agree that this proposed charter uses the term "posture" far too often not to define it. I fail to see how whether my computer is sitting upright or lying on its side is relevant to whether it should be allowed access to the network.
