In Response To: Clock policies -- terms (Nack Ballard)

Nack,

You've laid out very nicely the reasons for confusion with the current terminology. I agree when I saw "insistable," I knew immediately what it meant. (Neil's suggestion.) To me, "enforceable" isn't quite as good because it suggests something a TD might be doing.

Is it possible to create single-word terms that are free of confusion? I don't know, but it is fun to try! Here are my suggestions:

1. Clocks allowed.

2. Clocks insistable.

3. Clocks required. ("Mandatory" is fine too; "required" seems less harsh.)

Tom
