FW: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-trade-ecml2-spec-08.txt

For symmetry, I added ValidFrom fields for both payment and loyalty cards. This is consistent with the working group consensus to be somewhat liberal about adding such fields to ECML, given that their use is optional.

I had hoped to have this document, which achieved working group consensus some time ago, submitted to the IESG by now, but people have kept coming up with very minor but legitimate additions. Although working group last calls are not required by IETF procedure, I will wait one week, until Feb 5th, and then submit to the IESG unless there is a consensus for further change.

Thanks,
Donald

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Open Trading Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Electronic Commerce Modeling Language (ECML):Version 2
                          Specification
	Author(s)	: D. Eastlake
	Filename	: draft-ietf-trade-ecml2-spec-08.txt
	Pages		: 24
	Date		: 2003-1-29
	
Electronic commerce frequently requires a substantial exchange of
information in order to complete a purchase or other transaction,
especially the first time the parties communicate. A standard set of
hierarchicly organized payment related information fields in an XML
syntax are defined as the second version of an Electronic Commerce
Modeling Language (ECML) so that this task can be more easily
automated, for example by wallet software

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
