Abstract: Scalar BMS-invariant QFT defined on the causal boundary $scri$ of an asymptotically flat spacetime is discussed. (a)(i) It is noticed that the natural $BMS$ invariant pure quasifree state $lambda$ on $cW(scri)$, recently introduced by Dappiaggi, Moretti an Pinamonti, enjoys positivity of the self-adjoint generator of $u$-translations with respect to {em every} Bondi coordinate frame $$ on $scri$, $$ being the affine parameter of the null geodesics forming $scri$. This fact may be interpreted as a remnant of spectral condition inherited from Minkowski spacetime. (ii) It is proved cluster property under $u$-displacements holds for $u$-invariant pure state on $cW(scri)$. (iii) It is proved that there is a unique algebraic pure quasifree state invariant under $u$-displacements (of a fixed Bondi frame) having positive self-adjoint generator of $u$-displacements. It coincides with the GNS-invariant state $lambda$.(iv) It is showed that in the folium of a pure $u$-invariant state $omega$ (not necessarily quasifree) on $cW(scri)$, $omega$ is the only state invariant under $u$-displacement. (b) It is proved that the theory can formulated for spacetimes asymptotically flat at null infinity which admit future time completion. In this case a $\ast$-isomorphism $imath$ exists which identifies the (Weyl) algebra of observables of linear fields in the bulk with a sub algebra of $cW(scri)$. A preferred state on the field algebra in the bulk is induced by the $BMS$-invariant state $lambda$.
