TBG14 Modelling Reference Initiative (MRI) 2114 November th UN/CEFACT FORUM – Saly, Senegal very calm and positive discussion we focused on the issues we had all Permanent Groups sitting around one table very well attended (about 50) Open discussion; TBG provided examples of the difficulties they faced producing business standards. It initiated a discussion among the PGs how to solve these issues It was noted that most of the issues would probably be addressed by CCTS 3.0, NDR3.0, the “three library framework” and UCM

TBG14 MRI Conclusions 2214 November th UN/CEFACT FORUM – Saly, Senegal TBG will review CCTS 3.0 as soon as possible TBG will review current submission(s) to see how much reworking is necessary if any ATG will support TBG and consider change requests to NDR3.0 as part of the implementation verification ODP step (TMG do the same for CCTS 3.0) TMG will provide a draft for CCTS 3.0 until end of November 2008 TMG will work with TBG17 to update the harmonization and published CCL spreadsheets It was suggested that there will be a design guidance document produced to assist the development process There was mutual agreement that there must be a joint effort of all PGs for the production of a design guide. It is expected that this guide will be a living document during early the development status

TBG14 MRI Conclusions 2314 November th UN/CEFACT FORUM – Saly, Senegal TBG1 will use Invoice v2 for Implementation Verification of CCTS 3.0 TBG will support TMG and ATG to achieve an approved status for CCTS 3.0 and NDR 3.0 as soon as practicable well maintaining the high quality expected from UN/CEFCACT TBG17 recognizes that some procedural changes will be required TBG would need to decide to use CCTS 3.0 rules for harmonizing for the implementation verification as a separate ‘package’. TBG17 will need to work with a specific ABIE library. Joint Meetings to be arranged for the end of January 2009
