How about "Rights Protection Mechanisms may consist of adoption and
implementation . . . . "

I think this is a good addition, but it still does not define  
eligibility and membership authentication a form of RPM, nor do i  
think it should, so does not change my view of the principles/ 
recommendations..

specifically,

as you indicate in your definition this is an indirect methods of  
achieving a similar effect, which means that it cannot be a  
subspecies of the thing being defined but is rather another thing in  
itself.

I also still believe that there may be other mechanisms, perhaps yet  
to be created, that will also achieve a similar effect while not  
actually being RPMs.

I actually thought it was quite a good definition and did contain a  
fair degree of specificity.  Depending on other versions that may yet  
be submitted, I hope that this definition can persist in the document  
as at least an alternative definition if not a supported or agreed  
upon definition.
