Language pair:	French > English

Word or term in question:	maille

Keywords:	Cela permet d’accueillir les demandes, à la maille de chacune des directions régionales. - Cette méthode s’accompagnera d’un indicateur représentatif à cette même maille. -- La mise en place de directions régionales de plein exercice à maille ## sur le territoire national confirmera une gestion du dispositif de management à cette maille -- So these "maille" expressions (à maille, à la maille, à cette maille) are all over this long documents, and I'm just not quite clear on what it means. tia

My comment:

The French regional administration used to be referred to as a "réseau" but is now referred to, more technically, as a "maille", which literally means "mesh". The term is borrowed from the field of telecommunications. It means that each "node" of the network has the same weight - there's no "central node" that is more "powerful" than the others. It also places less emphasis on interconnection than the word "réseau". "A maille sur le territoire national" means "in a countrywide [meshed] network". I think you can safely translate "à cette maille" as "at this level" and "à la maille de chacune des directions régionales" as "at the level of each regional administration"
