Motivation
**********
It takes two to tango, but one party has to initiate. There is no difference in business world. The contractual relationship between two businesses often starts with an invite, a business proposal, a bid offering, etc.

Invite
When a market operator wants to set up a market, they need to go through an on-boarding process, in which they invite participants to sign master service agreements and fulfill different roles in the market. Receiving participants need to evaluate the rights and responsibilities of each role and respond accordingly.

Propose
When issuing an asset, an issuer is making a business proposal to potential buyers. The proposal lays out what is expected from buyers, and what they can expect from the issuer. Buyers need to evaluate all aspects of the offering, e.g. price, return, and tax implications, before making a decision.
The Initiate and Accept pattern demonstrates how to write a Daml program to model the initiation of an inter-company contractual relationship. Daml modelers often have to follow this pattern to ensure no participants are forced into an obligation.

Implementation
**************
The Initiate and Accept pattern in general involves 2 contracts:
The Initiate and Accept pattern in general involves two contracts, the initiate contract and the result contract:
Initiate contract
The Initiate contract can be created from a role contract or any other point in the workflow. In this example, initiate contract is the proposal contract *CoinIssueProposal* the issuer created from the master contract *CoinMaster*.

The *CoinIssueProposal* contract has *Issuer* as the signatory, and *Owner* as the controller to the *Accept* choice. In its complete form, the *CoinIssueProposal* contract should define all choices available to the owner, i.e. Accept, Reject or Counter (e.g. re-negotiate terms).

Result contract
Result Contract
Once the owner exercises the *AcceptCoinProposal* choice on the initiate contract to express their consent, it returns a result contract representing the agreement between the two parties. In this example, the result contract is of type *CoinIssueAgreement*. Note, it has both *issuer* and *owner* as the signatories, implying they both need to consent to the creation of this contract. Both parties could be controller(s) on the result contract, depending on the business case.
