I discussed this issue with Bill Cox, Toby, Bruce, and EdK. There is apparently a requirement in the NAESB req docs for an "Opt-In" approach, but Ed Koch did not know the source of that, whether there is really a need, or simply it was a use case discussed that might be useful. OpenADR is the basis for the current Constraint and Opt-Out approach, and the current approach has the blessing of the OpenADR TF (I believe). Bill pointed out that the EiConstraint service actually has both positive (acceptSchedule) and negative (notAcceptSchedule) views of the constraints, but Bill thought adding this positive/negative element to OptOut (or changing the name to something like "tempConstraint") would be problematic.
To the issue of text strings, which are presently covered with the "reason" attribute in the EiOptout class, Bruce didn't like the name "reason" since maybe it didn't express the idea of the project codes that would be passed in this text string (such as the IRC text items mentioned here, i.e., "economic, emergency, must run, not participating, outage run status, override status, participating.") We can change the name if there is a better suggestion that everyone agrees to.
The proposed resolution then is to leave everything as is, and get confirmation from the IRC that this meets their needs.
