A clarification was raised when Hima, Dale and I met yesterday on CPPA 
v2.1/ebBP v2.0 alignment regarding the ComplexBTA. Initially, I had 
thought we limited the CBTA as a mechanism for status visibility of 
sub-parties visible but not part of the business collaboration.  
Reference from the editors' F2F this last summer:

    /Clearly state that the party, with visibility to other sub-parties,
    has the responsibility for the performance of the sub-parties (who
    are not first class citizens of the business collaboration), who are
    not specifically constrained by the business collaboration.
    Sub-parties are identified in the complexBTA. However, they are not
    parties to the binary collaboration. Another business collaboration
    may exist elsewhere that defines the interaction of the parties that
    are sub-parties visible in this business collaboration.
    /

Dale has asked if this can apply to any collaboration: MPC, Binary or 
Business. Comments welcome. We will discuss today in addition to the 
alignment recommended by Dale yesterday (see: above). We will start with 
the update from Sacha Schlegel and the jBPM team. Thanks.
