We have been discussing CEM since the first of December so I
believe it is time to make a decision and go forward on it. 6 individuals have weighted
in favor the EDIINT–Features header/Version: 1.2 with a 2 individuals
opposed. From the last DGI interop test, we have 6 companies who did not
comment in this discussion have indicated they are in favor of the EDIINT–Features
header. Given the numbers, I think we have our decision. CEM is not perfect – AS2 architecture does not allow
for true profile negotiation like ebXML allows – but it can work adequately
and is needed. ecGIF user community is strongly pushing its vendors for support
of this. I can update CEM and EDIINT–Features drafts next week
and submit to this group for review. The comment from Richard Bigelow on a
EDIINT–Features only message for updating your feature lists and sent
only to 1.2 trading partners drew some agreement so I can add that and also
clarify the start–up situation which CEM does not adequately deal with.
