[Nsi-wg] vote on naming for Agents types

["Joan A. García-Espín"]

Dear Guy,

My choice is 1: {requester, provider} agents.
On a second instance, I would choose 3, but in general I agree with 
Tomohiro.

By the way, I will be on holidays from tomorrow to the 10th of Jan, with 
occasionally Internet access. Please, excuse my slow reaction to email.

Regards,
