Subject:  confusion on where to discuss trading partners


A very  senior individual in ebXML has noticed a lot of discussion of
trading parners on the TRP list and asked me to remind everyone that
discussion of trading partners belongs on the TP list.  I agree.

However I also recognize that trading partners will continue to come up in
TRP discussions because a large fraction of the TPA consists of
messaging-service configuration information.  We should all be sensitive to
the need to transfer any discussion thread to the TP list when it becomes
exclusively devoted to trading-partner matters.

As a practical matter, I urge that anyone interested in the subject of
trading-partner profiles and electronic TPAs subscribe to both the
transport and the TP lists.

Praying for a successful delivery (to both lists), I am

Yours sincerely,
Marty
