[DBWG] ORG-TYPE definitions

[James]

Dear Frank,

The status is being considered as a feasible use case to cater for the
certain business scenarios, where closed organisations may hold the
status for a specific period of time before being finally removed.

However, the ORG-HDL being relied upon by most internal systems, a
thorough impact assessment is being done first.

Regards,
James
