Through the document change the terminology. The overarching agreement that provides context for interactions might be called a market context, market rules agreement, a program, etc.

Note in document that a context is always present; a "counterparty" may or may not be.

We use the term "transaction" for "contract" and "tender" for "offer" to be consistent with the EMIX Public Review of November 2010; comments welcome during the EI Public Review.

Where a "program" was used in OpenADR, Sections 5 and 7 use "agreement" e.g. agreementID and agreementName as a generalization.

Section 6 uses the term "contract", e.g. contractID.

Since all of these are either agreements or contracts, both should use the same term. I suggest "contract" be used for all definitions.
