1. Joint MIS Development Group (JMDG) update
Tahera Choudhury – 13/12/17

2. JMDG background
The DSC ChMC signed on to facilitation of a Joint MIS development group (JMDG) hosted by Xoserve and Gemserv.
The MIS services primarily aims to;
Improve reliability of the switching process such that Ofgem’s aims for faster switching can be achieved
Ensuring the correct data is available to the correct party at the right time and in their preferred manner of delivery / consumption
On 27th of November 2017 Gemserv and Xoserve hosted the first JMDG meeting.
Attendees included; Gas / Electricity Suppliers - Shippers (acting as DSC & MRA rep), DCC, Ofgem, MAP

3. Discussion points
The first meeting largely covered; ToRs, background – Aim of MIS, scoping and consultation.
The JMDG attendees were very supportive of this workgroup.
It was agreed an open letter would be provided early January to the industry, to understand organisation challenges, problems and opportunities that could be considered under the MIS.
These would be appropriately considered and prioritised by JMDG and then progressed under current code governance as required.
There is support to extend the PCW service to Suppliers as soon as possible

4. Up and coming
Next JMDG will be in February 2018 (after the open letter responses are received)
Potential for adhoc teleconference to agree open letter structure
First MPB to meet in February 2018
