V3 Messaging
Why is v3 messaging viewed to be so complex?
What needs to be “fixed” in v3 messaging? What is business case for v3? Who are customers, stakeholders,

V3 Messaging (3)
Will a library of v3 messages that can be directly implemented be a solution to complexity?
How many v3 messages do we need? How do we avoid similar but different
messages? Can v3 messages be made shorter without
loss of functionality?

V3 Messaging (4)
Can a variant of XML be used Can a v3 message only carry what is specific
for that dat6aload, including only the data and enough logic structure to provide interoperability? Can v3 messaging be simplified?
What does an implementer need to borrow to implement v3 messages?

V3 messaging (5)
How important is establishing a user base? How can v3 messaging to made more
approachable to novices? What is a reasonable pathway from v2 to
v3? Is the absence of such a pathway a barrier to transition?

and archetypes relate to CDA? Is CDA a proper method for exchange of
data? What are options?

When should CDA be used and when should messages be use to exchange data?
