[802SEC] definitions of affiliation and interest categories



I believe the following is what we agreed to in Denver.  Speak up only if 
you disagree--


"Affiliation" refers to the entity that the 802 participant represents 
(which may or may not be that person's employer).  If the 802 participant 
is serving in an individual capacity, then the name of the individual, that 
person's employer, sponsor and interest category should be 
available.  Contact information is not required.

Interest Category Definitions:

User: A user is a person or entity that relies on the standard to define 
conformance of the product or service, and to create a common understanding 
of the operation of the product or service.
Producer: A person or entity directly creating a compliant product, 
component, or service, for sale or distribution.
General Interest:  General Interest defines a group of participants in 
standards activities that may benefit directly or indirectly, and may be 
affected by the standard under development without being either a direct 
user or producer of the product or service being defined in the standard.
