hi, per the last concall, I have taken a look at the existing text for 2.2.26 and 2.2.27 and propose only minor modifications to the original text as follows. Also, there is some text regarding intermediaries that I think is more appropriate to associate with the sender's description: 2.2.26 Message recipient 2.2.26.1 Summary A message recipient is an agent that is intended - by a message sender - to consume the message. 2.2.26.2 Relationships to other elements a message recipient is an agent 2.2.26.3 Description The message recipient is the agent that the sender intends the message to be consumed by. The message recipient of an agent may be represented as the agent's identifier in a message envelope; however, in the case of anonymous or broadcast-style interactions, the recipient of a message may not be available to the sender, and vice-versa. In general, a message may be intended for more than one recipient. Furthermore, in some cases, the sending agent may not have direct knowledge of the identity of the message recipient (for example, in multi-case situations or in the case anonymous interactions with a service provider.) 2.2.27 Message sender 2.2.27.1 Summary A message sender is the agent that originates a message. 2.2.27.2 Relationships to other elements a message sender is an agent 2.2.27.3 Description A message sender is the agent that originally caused a new message to be created and sent to an agent. The message sender of an agent may be represented as the agent's identifier in a message envelope; however, in the case of anonymous interactions the originator of a message may not be available. Messages may also be passed through intermediaries that process aspects of the message; typically by examining the message headers. The sending agent may or may not be aware of such intermediaries. -#-#-# Couple of additional comments: * I would suggest the Intermediary text in 2.2.11.1 Summary read: An intermediary is a message processing node that does not necessarily represent the message's intended recipient; but which, none-the-less may process some aspect of the message. * Does 2.2.26.3 need to mention intermediaries at all?
