  I understand that only one CPA exists between the two parties for a given BP. The
problems I face are:

a) who authors it?
b) how does the non-authoring party come into possession of it?

  Option 2 infers that both parties have with the same BP and CPP documents to start
off with. They each create (independently) identical copies of the same CPA document.



PS: My most recent copy of the CPP&A Specification is v0.1 dated 01/15/01. Is this up
to date?
