Dear eContracts TC
Participants,
The next meeting of the
eContracts TC will be Wednesday 12 Feb, 10pm
GMT (which is is 5pm EST,
2pm PST and 9am in Melbourne, AU). On the agenda will be the “then
current” compilation of scenarios, use cases and draft requirements now being
assembled by our “requirements committee”, headed by Jason Harrop (jharrop@speedlegal.com) and Barry
Hanson (bhansen@imany.com).
All participants in this TC are
strongly encouraged to submit your ideas of sample and representative use
cases or business scenarios that will drive the requirements process. Shortly, I’ll be delivering a first
draft of such scenarios and use cases relating to electronic and automated
transactions in which a contracts is created and/or the terms of an electronic
contracts are applied to electronic processes in an automated fashion. I hope that those of you with similar
or different concepts (including large-scale procurement management and other
scenarios) will contribute your visions at this stage.
The next meeting will serve as
an important threshold, wherein we’ll start the end of the requirements
gathering process. It will still
be possible to add or change things after the next meeting, but the stage will
be set. So now is the time to get
your ideas into the mix.
Finally, I encourage all
participants to contribute background information in yourselves and your
general interest in the arena of electronic contracts. I will be submitting such an e-mail in
the next couple of days. This
will make it easier for us to work with one another in our virtual
setting.
Looking forward to a productive
winter term,
- Daniel Greenwood
