Issue forwarded from EI. Suggestion from EI for consistent teminology across EI and EMIX with respect to Transactions.

I suggested that we eliminate the reference to Contract in the Glossary and replace with the following: A transaction binds two parties in the context of an Agreement. There is no need to introduce the word Contract any where in our documents. I suggest that a global replace of Contract by Transaction in both EMIX and EI. However each place we do a replace there may be cases where contract meant Agreement. Both EMIX and EI will also have a table of transactive states that includes definitions of transactions and tenders. I don't think we need more than this. In the explanation of these transactive states we can also indicate that bid and offer are other words for tender and an ISO auction Award is a transaction. However, for clarity we should use only the terms Tender and Transaction in our normative language and rest of the definitions of these terms we provide therein We can include a footnote to the effect that the term transaction used herein refers to an energy or business transaction and not to an information technology transaction.
