Sub-group meeting on 10.11.2023: the Sub-group approved this change proposal. However, although the substance of the proposal is accepted, MIG-T/MIG members are invited to revise the exact wording of all the changes made, and suggest potential revisions.

For consistency with the terminology of the View TG, the sub-group further specifies this change proposal renaming the "option" term with "scenario".
