Hi David - We decided (a while back!) to move towards a "simpler" ODRL Model - which meant we removed much of the stuff not core to rights expression.

For example, if you look at the Model in the 4th May 2006 WD [1], you can see the Communications entity (with Accept/Reject attributes).

We would be happy for someone to write a Profile for this Business process - and even put a small bit in the "Experimental Features" of the current Model.

Also, Alapan has written extensively on this topic [2].
