Subject: Re: comment on TA specification
All,
Note that I would also recommend changing the SHALL to a MAY
because:
1) it is not enforcable
2) it is certainly NOT a REQUIREMENT that a Party register
their CPP in a compliant registry system. They SHOULD be
permitted to advertise it in any manner they see fit, IMHO.
It just so happens that the RegRep is probably one of the
most suitable. If they want to hand it out on a floppy
disk or flash paper as the sole manner of providing this
information to their prospective business partners, so be it.
e.g.
"Each Trading Partner MAY register one or more CPP documents in an
ebXML compliant Registry system."
Cheers,
Chris
