[David Smiley <dsmiley@mercator.com>]

Old/New issue: Old
Re-numbered for V1.1: 19
Number: 27
Date: 4/3
Originator: QRT
Line: 734-736 (Section 6.4.2.1)

Issue:
A CPA need not use an ebXML business process. 
ebXML can be incrementally adopted.

Suggestion for Change to BPSS Spec:

The text of the specification is unchanged from 
V.99 to V1.01. In section 6.4.2.1, it reads:

"The CPA/CPP Specification requires that parties 
agree upon a Collaboration Protocol Agreement (CPA)
in order to transact business. A CPA associates itself 
with a specific Binary Collaboration.
Thus, all Business Transactions performed between 
two parties should be referenced through Business 
Transaction Activities contained within a Binary Collaboration."

Propose change as follows:

"The CPA/CPP Specification allows parties to agree 
upon a Collaboration Protocol Agreement (CPA) 
in order to transact business. 
A CPA may associate itself with a specific Binary Collaboration.
Thus, Business Transactions performed between two parties 
may be referenced through Business Transaction Activities 
contained within a Binary Collaboration."
