Larry,

Nobody is talking about moving information from one vendor to another 
without the knowledge of the owner.

I am talking about what occurs when a customer exercises their rights to 
choose a different vendor.

Unfortunately in business people make all sorts of decisions based on 
their emotions and not on what is best for themselves or their business.

I am proposing a protocol that would make it clearer to people how they 
can complete the "divorce" without having to rely on people's respective 
views of ethics and what might constitute "gentlemanly behaviour". 

The protocol would address notification, settlement of accounts, transfer 
of information, transfer of chain of custody information and Meta data and 
reconciliation of errant information.

Personally I think the existence of such a protocol would be a significant 
step forward for the information management industry and for the 
management of information in general.
