Comment #7 on issue 5 by imo... at gmail.com: Query on requester interface -  
is this needed?
http://code.google.com/p/ogf-nsi-project/issues/detail?id=5

This discussion was not concluded, but I will capture the thoughts as were  
shared on the call:

1. Query as a separate WSDL was discussed, issue 22 has also been opened  
for this

2. The main use-case was monitoring or management agents that might not be  
NSAs. Unanswered questions are:
     a. Can query work if the entities querying are not NSA agents?
     b. Should query be a separate WSDL in any case?
     c. Which credentials - user credentials or peer relationships when  
walking the service tree?

3. There was support on the call for the need for query in both directions  
whether it be commercial networks or research networks scenario.

This discussion was not deemed important for 1.0SC and resolution postponed  
till another date
