Remove IFI from Section 9.2 Actor

[MartinKoob]

The acronym IFI is used in Section 9.2 Actor

Section 9.2 Actor:

...

The Actor property MUST contain an account property (IFI) as defined in the xAPI specification.

...

However, that acronym is:

• not defined in Section 3.0 Definitions
• nor show in its full form in Section 3.1 Abbreviations and Acronyms.

Options are to add a definition to Section 3.0, just add the acronym and its full name to Section 3.1. or remove the one mention of IFI from Section 9.2 Actor

Background:
I was not familiar with the term IFI so I searched for it to find its full name and meaning. There were not many references to it returned in the search and it appears to be a term specific to the xAPI Specification.
(Actually when I first read it I thought what it was referring to was reverse Domain Name Notation. See - Reverse Domain Name Notation - Jim Nielsen's Blog https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2021/reverse-dns/)

IFI is part of the xAPI Specification:
xAPI Spec
2.4.2.3 Inverse Functional Identifier
 defines the IFI and lists all the IFI properties.

Other references to Inverse Functional Identifier (IFI)

Appendix A: Converting Statements to 1.0.0

Possible Resolutions

• If we wanted to add a definition to the cmi5 Spec we could use the definition of IFI from the xAPI xAPI Spec 2.4.2.3 Inverse Functional Identifier add a new item to cmi5 Spec Section 3.1 Abbreviations and Acronyms:

• Inverse Functional Identifier (IFI): An Inverse Functional Identifier (IFI) is a value of an Agent or Identified Group that is guaranteed to only ever refer to that Agent or Identified Group. (xAPI Specification - Section 2.3.4.3 Inverse Functional Identifier)[https://github.com/adlnet/xAPI-Spec/blob/master/xAPI-Data.md#2423-inverse-functional-identifier]

• Otherwise we could remove the reference to IFI from Section 9.2 Actor.

After discussion at the meeting of the subgroup of the cmi5 working group the decision was made to remove the reference to IFI in the section.
