Subject: RE: [ebxml-cppa-negot] negotiability of BPSS instance document.
I would like to understand better the concern with possibility 2 before ruling that out. Is the issue that when versions change, so can aspects under CollaborationRole?

We have some inconsistencies with regard to what is negotiable about the BPSS instance document. In section 5.2, it states that two partners can negotiate over which BPSS instance document to use. In 10.7, it states that the version of a BPSS instance document is negotiable In section 10.2, it now says (in response to a comment on the last-distributed version of the specification): "Two prospective trading partners SHOULD agree on the same BPSS instance document and assignment of roles before beginning to negotiate the CPA." We need to resolve the inconsistency. Possibilities: 1. Put any negotiation about BPSS out beyond version 1. For this I would remove the statements in 5.2 and 10.7 and change the SHOULD to SHALL in 10.2. 2. Allow negotiation about the version of the same BPSS instance but not more general. This would require clarifying the statements in 5.2 and 10.2 to mention version but not allow negotiation of completely different BPSS instances. 3. Allow negotiation about which BPSS instance document. (not just version). I believe that we understand how to negotiate about version but not how to negotiate more generally about which BPSS instance document. However, I am not sure that we know how to negotiate about roles or, perhaps, other aspects of what is under the CollaborationRole element. Given the lateness of the hour, I suggest that (1) is the only choice for version 1. If we agree on (1), I will add something to the futures document. Comments, please.
