Source: OSM (Mr. Stephen McConnell, mcconnell@osm.net)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary:  There are several occurrences within the Negotiation and
	  Task and Session specification of exception, enumeration and
        struct declarations that are defined with the scope of object
	  interfaces.  This approach complicates access to these type
	  declarations from the Negotiation Community and Collaboration
	  modules. leading to potential type duplication.

Resolution: see below
Revised Text: All exceptions, enumeration and typedef specifications declared within the scope of an
interface within the Session, CommunityFramework and CollaborationFramework
modules have been moved to module scope.
Actions taken:
October 16, 2000: received issue
February 27, 2001: closed issue
Discussion: 
Resolution:

	  Resolution of the problem can be achieved by moving
	  the respective declarations from interface to module level in
	  the Session module and Negotiation modules for Community and
	  Collaboration.

        1.4 "Declaration in Module versus Interface scope".

Juergen:

The following issues are raised following implementation of the
modules
defined under the Negotiation RFP Final Submission dtc/99-07-03 while
incorporation changes supporting rationalisation against Task and
Session
interfaces as defined under formal/2000-05-02.

Cheers, Steve.



Issue (2): Accessibility of external definitions
===============================================

Nature:

	   Declaration in Module versus Interface scope

Severity:

	  low

Summary:

        There are several occurrences within the Negotiation and
	  Task and Session specification of exception, enumeration and
        struct declarations that are defined with the scope of object
	  interfaces.  This approach complicates access to these type
	    declarations from the Negotiation Community and
	  Collaboration
	    modules. leading to potential type duplication.

Resolution:

	  Resolution of the problem can be achieved by moving
	    the respective declarations from interface to module level
	    in
	      the Session module and Negotiation modules for Community
	    and
