I was looking for some clarification on whether the intent is for the Border Element or Call Agent on the terminating side of the call to verify the ticket? 

For example, the last paragraph of section 8.4 page36, states that the terminating call agent verifies the ticket, then at the end of the paragraph it states that the call is then forwarded to the terminating call agent. Was the intent to say the BE verifies and then forwards to the CA? 
In relation to this, section 6.3 page 27 states that a responsibility of the BE is to perform ticket verification, while the call agent section 6.2 does not list this as a responsibility. Page 22 states that the CA performs ticket verification. 
I understand an individual network element could perform both CA and BE functions, if it is simply a terminology issue, perhaps we could structure the text to insure consistency.
