Abstract

This memo defines a 'Green Model' for information commerce using the Internet. In this model, the information merchant carries all risk of non-payment. By shifting the risk of non-payment, we do not require guarantees of credit worthiness for a merchant. This allows every participant to be both a buyer and a merchant of information on the Internet. Transactions relating to accounting and settlement are performed through either the exchange of store-and-forward messages (using the 'application/green-commerce' format defined in [1]), or interactive protocol exchanges (using the 'Simple Green Commerce Protocol' defined in [2]).
