Input needed: US Federal Reserve Payments Position Paper

Hi all,

The Web Payments group is submitting a position paper to the US Federal
Reserve on the work we're doing here, inviting them to join this group
or have us advise their work. Ultimately, the goal of the paper is to
get a dialogue going between the Fed and this group.

The first very rough draft is here, it still needs a good bit of polishing:

http://www.w3.org/community/webpayments/wiki/FedPaymentsPositionPaper

Namely, section 9: Purchase Requests, Contracts, and Receipts section
seems murky and unnecessary. I'm concerned about the flow between
sections 4-9. The length of the paper is at around 8 pages now, so
adding more is probably not a good idea and we probably want to subtract
some of the content.

Unfortunately, the paper is due by COB on December 12th 2013, so we only
have around 5 days to complete the paper and submit it. I plan to submit
whatever we have by 5PM EST on December 11th 2013 just so we don't miss
the deadline due to some miscommunication or unforeseen event.

If there are spelling/grammatical mistakes or you'd like to clean up the
flow of the paper, just make the edits directly to the wiki as we don't
have time to discuss those sorts of changes on this mailing list.

Dave Longley, Digital Bazaar's CTO, will also be submitting responses to
the actual payment questions raised on behalf of that company. A few
others on this mailing list will or have already done the same on behalf
of their companies.
