Minutes of CPPA Negotiation
Conference Call
Attendees: Marty Sachs, Dale Moberg, Jean Zheng, Monica Martin, Neelakantan Kartha
Discussion:
1.
Discussed December efforts.
2.
Marty is waiting for more inputs on Negotiation
specification in addition to those received from Moberg
and Martin.
3.
Jean has almost completed the messaging specification,
section 12.
4.
Everyone asked to review the specification.
Jean
raised the question of how to keep track of changes to the CPA during the
negotiation process. What happens to content changes and tracking and how does
that affect the negotiation (if a new element is inserted)? Should we write out
the update to a location where it is accessible? This is more efficient than trying to resend
all the information. She proposed that
the sender of each offer or counter-offer message include the URL of the
current partially completed CPA. She will work on this.
On the question:
What about error handling during the negotiation process? Jean is working on revisions
to messaging specification that will answer most Chapter 12 questions raised by
Monica. On error handling, Zheng is changing the name “status” to “message type” She
will create an element like 'error' or 'error code.' Use another optional field for comments. Per Marty
previously, errors have been combined in Section 12 and the message schema will
support all of them. Error conditions which can be reported in negotiation
messages are to be processed by the negotiation application.
