Thanks Maceij,

That is very helpful!  But you lost me a bit with: "...only one task and 
interrupting signal boundary event attached to the sub process."

I created an embedded sub-process.  In that sub-process is a start event, a 
diverge (AND) Gateway, splitting to the separate Human Tasks (HT) for each 
team, a converge (AND) Gateway, and a stop event.  (This sub-process seemed 
logical, because I have several (currently only 2) teams making the same 
evaluation. I expect to add more teams eventually, but not soon.)

I noticed that the embedded sub-process Component has an Exception Handlers 
property, and so I tried to mimic "BPMN2-ErrorBoundaryEventInterrupting.bpm2" 
from the examples.

I don't want to loose site of my goal, which is to have a "Yes" answer from one 
of the teams cause the other pending HT(s) to end immediately and the process 
to move on.  

If I am on the right track with the sub-process I described, how should I raise 
the exception?  It looks like I would have to use separate XOR Gateways to 
separate Error Events after each HT, and use separate Exception Handlers on the 
sub-process boundary, separate signal events, etc.  Is that correct, or is 
there a cleaner, single handler, approach?  Also, since one of the HTs did 
complete, how do I ensure that it's Result Mapping variables also propagate for 
down-process tasks to use?

Thanks again.
