> Dear  BPSS team,
> Please accept the the following legal use case for consideration 
> during F2F meeting this week. In contract negotiation it is sometimes 
> the case that some offers may be revocable. In current UMM and BPSS 
> transactions its not possible to revoke a dispatched Request before 
> AcceptanceAcknowledgement has been dispatched. In order to fully 
> support international conventions it may be desirable to either extend 
> current "commercial transaction" or create a new transaction type with 
> extended offer acceptance semantics, code name 
> "OfferAcceptanceTransaction".
>
> The  UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE 
> OF GOODS (1980) states in:
>
> "Article 16
> (1) Until a contract is concluded an offer may be revoked if the 
> revocation reaches the offeree before he has dispatched an acceptance.
> (2) However, an offer cannot be revoked: (a) if it indicates, whether 
> by stating a fixed time for acceptance or otherwise, that it is 
> irrevocable; or (b) if it was reasonable for the offeree to rely on 
> the offer as being irrevocable and the offeree has acted in reliance 
> on the offer."

> Anders, we can bring up in today's meeting if time under new business 
> and will bring it up in the F2F per your request.
> Note, I am using a new simple discussion format that JJ Dubray will 
> introduce to the group today. It will help us automate and manage our 
> discussions a bit more effectively. Thanks.
