11. A system for executing a service policy in a communication network, the system comprising:

one or more circuits configured to, at a service policy execution factory (SPEF):

initiate a service policy request;

evaluate the service policy request;

select a unique service event identifier (ID) from a service repository;

create, based on the evaluating, a distributed service event object, the creating comprising defining dynamic elements to be included in the distributed service event object;

send the distributed service event object with a unique service event ID to an event broker, wherein the event broker forwards, based on the distributed service event object, operator specific event data to one or more operator access domains (OADs); and

in response to receiving from the event broker a new service event object corresponding to the forwarding of the operator specific event data:

process the received new service event object; and

update information associated with a corresponding operator access domain (OAD) based on the processing.
