RE: Draft new TRADE WG Charter, two week comment period

[David Burdett <[e-mail]>]

Donald

Apologies for not being able to make the last IETF meeting. However, I think
that work on version 2.0 of IOTP should consider use of ebXML Transport
Routing and Packaging as meeting your first requirement for "Separation of a
content independent Messaging Layer".

ebXML stands for electronic business XML and is a joint effort between
UN/CEFACT who are owners of the EDIFACT standard and OASIS which is a
non-profit organization with significant SGML & XML expertise. It includes
the development of a content independent messaging layer.

The Internet Open Trading Protocol is an interoperable framework
for Internet commerce. It is optimized for the case where the
buyer and the merchant do not have a prior acquaintance and is
payment system independent. It can encapsulate and support payment
systems such as SET, Mondex, secure channel card payment,
GeldKarte, etc. IOTP is able to handle cases where such merchant
roles as the shopping site, the payment handler, the deliverer of
goods or services, and the provider of customer support are
performed by different Internet sites.

The working group will document interoperability experience with
IOTP version 1 (which has been published as an Informational RFC)
and develop the requirements for IOTP version 2. Selection of
items for inclusion in version requirements 2 is to be from the
following: 
 - Separation of a content independent Messaging Layer 
 - Dynamic Definition of Trading Sequences 
 - Offer Request Block 
 - Improved Problem Resolution (extend to cover presentation of
 	signed receipt to customer support party, etc.)
 - Server to Server messages
 - Standardized XML Digital Signatures based on output from
 	the XMLDSIG working group
 
The following is out of scope for IOTP version 2:
 - legal or regulatory issues surrounding the implementation of
 	the protocol or information systems using it.
 - specification of an XML Messaging Layer

The working group will specify requirements for Digital-Rights
Trading.

The working group will specify requirements for and then a syntax
and processing model of ECML (Electronic Commerce Modeling
Language) V2.
