Its broadly what we've been putting together as the initial work in the 
Comms Alliance workgroups - work in progress 
https://commswiki.dgit.biz/index.php/Main_Page. I think it was a diagram 
from this work that Quigley put up in the Brisbane briefing yesterday.

TR-144 (http://www.broadband-forum.org/technical/download/TR-144.pdf) is 
a fairly heavily leaned upon precedent. There will be a first-run 
architectural reference model released for broader comment in a few 
weeks I believe.
