Shared a Google doc with @derekeder and @fgregg where I'm starting to, however naively, group these things.

...and here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuoM6JPZJ7xIdG9QdEs0YlhtMW5yZm41UENTZEdMNWc&usp=sharing

@fgregg I've gone ahead and put preliminary groupings into that file above. I think the only thing that might not be clear is the distinction between "Business - Retail" and "Business - Office". The difference I am attempting to bring out there is the one between a place where the public engages with a business and a place where a business just does, well, business and there are typically only employees on premise. If you can think of a better way of describing that, I am all for it cause I think that kinda stinks.

@derekeder thought we might preliminarily share this with LISC (once we're good with it) to see if there is any feedback they might have.

Looks like a good first cut. Let's wait before going back to Taryn with questions. Other issues are definitely going, to arise, and we should batch them up.

Closing for now until we get feedback.
