That was exactly the question that I was asking….. tc "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster, and if you stare long into an abyss, the abyss also stares into you." - Fredrich Nietzche Toby Considine TC9, Inc TC Chair: oBIX & WS-Calendar TC Editor: EMIX, EnergyInterop U.S. National Inst. of Standards and Tech.

During enrollment, one can associate that Party ID with one or more metrology points, which may happen to be specific revenue meters. 1) In emerging markets closely allied with existing markets, should the Party ID by an MRID? 2) If a truck drives into my meter, and I get a physically new meter (with a new faceplate, etc.) does this change my MRID in today’s infrastructure? 3) If I register multiple Resources, is there a pre-existing definition of MRID as it relates to the submetering meter ids? In a closely related question, Say I switch out the software and hardware that operates my ESI. I then re-register and rejoin the market contexts. In some market contexts, there may be non-trivial “establishment” costs. These might include posting a bond, establishing a line of credit, etc. I may get different value for my response based upon a reputation that my [Party ID] has established for fast, accurate performance. It would be useful to join my new registration ID to the pre-existing identity in some way. This is the ill-defined Account.
