Privacy Consideration
Scenario 1: when a user deploys an AP at home
They normally do not want others except family members to query service which is available in their home.
Prefer to only allow the family members to query service that is available in their home.
802.11aq should provides mechanism to allow users to enable access control for service discovery.
Scenario 2: when a company deploys APs in office
Prefer to restrict to only company employees can use the service discovery service.
802.11aq should be able to set the restriction.

Scenario 3: the users do not have credentials for the WLAN network
Even the users can query the service before association, they can not associate to this AP due to lack of credentials.
If the users can query the service before association but can not associate with the AP after they selecting the AP. The user experience will be interrupted.
