RE: [ebxml-cppa-negot] discovery of CPA template

Hi Marty,

I think the opening logic steps seem OK.

Are you suggesting that the initial message
to Party A from Party B (containing a draft
CPA derived from mods to Party A's template)
go as a counteroffer?

It seems to me it could go as the initial
proposed CPA and just ignore that it was
formed from a CPA template (and NDD) just
like we ignore that an initial draft CPA
might be formed from 2 CPPs (and a NDD if available).

In our early discussions, we included the possiblity that Party B might
discover Party A's CPA template rather than a CPP.  For this case, the
opening logic  is:

- Party B obtains a copy of Party A's CPA template and NDD.
- Party B fills in its Party ID, communication address, and other
details.
- Party B may also modify other aspects of this CPA template that are
indicated as negotiable in the NDD.
- Party B does NOT modify the NDD.
- Party B submits this modified CPA template to Party A as an initial
offer.
- The accompanying negotiation message indicates what Party B has
changed
in the CPA template just as in the case of a counter offer.
- The choreography then continues as in the current BPSS instance
document,
with Party A making the response to Party B's offer.

Does this scenario require any modifications to the current BPSS
instance
document?  I don't think so but I would like other opinions.

Regards,
Marty
