Negotiation: subteam logistics

I have attached the initial version of the negotiation white paper /
requirements document.

At this morning's CPPA conference call, it was decided to hold the
discussions on this document on the CPPA list rather than privately within
the subteam.  Everyone feel free to discuss.  Please prefix the subject
line by the word "Negotiation" or <Negotiation> to allow everyone to do
filtering.

Extensive comments on specific items in the document may be inserted into a
copy of the document using revision markup.  That copy can then be posted
back to the list.

Please note that the document references the ebXML E-Commerce Patterns, v
1.0 technical report which is available on the ebXML web site.

I also distributed to the subteam a proposal prepared by Duane Nickull a
few months ago.  If anyone else wants a copy, let me know.

Regards,
Marty
