The business process would read:

"New procedures will reduce the operational cost of our operations by xx%".

"All peering contracts renewed or executed after [date] will comply to 
document xxxx".

Revised customer IP provisioning procedures:

"Insert new customer IP info into our local IRR. Customer IPs will not 
work if this is not done."

"Press here to cause us to spin our configuration builder."
