RE: TPA Requirements

["Kacker, Ravi K." <rkacker@kraft.com>]

Mike,
 I am wondering how discussion on tpaML is relevant for ebXML Requirements
Project Team ??? Any expansion of the ebXML Requirements Team agenda needs
first approval of ebXML Steering Committee as well as an agreement from the
project team members. This should not be included in the agenda topic for
the Conference call on Aug 1. 
 I need to more specifically seek answers from our team members whether or
not we have achieved our initial goal as defined by the ebXML Steering
Committee and what contributions are we bringing from our team to San Jose
meeting ?? Those are more relevant topics.

IBM's submission of tpaML is quite timely, since one thing I noticed
when reviewing the latest round of specifications is that we don't have
much on trading partner information.  To pursue this topic, I am
tentatively volunteering the Requirements Team to develop the process
and information requirements for trading partner information.  We'll
discuss this at our team conference call this next Tuesday, and I should
have a definite proposal to put to the Steering Committee at its call on
Wednesday.

After developing the requirements, the work can then be handed off to
another team (perhaps Architecture) to develop or adopt an
implementation specification.
