management process:

shared name structure.
• Name structure are not always machine friendly, too long,
too complex, etc.
• An email address is unique at the domain level and in the
case of AUBnet for life. xxxx@aub.edu.lb if used ones is
reserved for life.
• This is my personal email account and I can use it the way I
see fit!
• Why can someone use his name and I cannot use mine?
• In that other institution I was given that email!
