Related Agreements and Brokers

This comment reflectes the discussion of the specification at GGF 12. The content  is taken from the minutes and the 
discussion on the GRAAP mailing list subsequent  to the GGF. This comment does not represent my personal concern or that
 of  IBM. 

Should related agreements be the mechanism using which a service broker declares which of his or her contracts will 
actually implement the services according to the agreement? Does the use of brokers has other effects on related 
agreements?

Group Response

WS-Agreement is intended to address two-party agreement.  As such, the use of brokers and so on are outside the scope of
 ws-agreement.  Further, we have resolved to remove related agreements entirely, so this mechanism will not be possible 
even if a particular domain wanted to use this approach.
