1. Process for Updates to the DSC Service Description Table
For Approval
Change Management Committee on Wednesday 7th August 2019

2. Introduction
The DSC Service Description Table contains a list of services the CDSP provides to Shipper Users, DNOs, IGTs and NGT
Code (Mods) and non-code (Change Proposals) changes often require updates to the DSC Service Description Table in the form of new service lines, amended service lines or deleted service lines
The CDSP is responsible for ensuring the DSC Service Description Table reflects the services we provide to our DSC customers
We’re reviewing the existing process for how the table is updated and approved at DSC committees; this paper contains a proposal with the intention of streamlining the process by removing the requirement to seek approval at Change Management Committee

4. Approval Decision
Xoserve believes this proposition would result in the DSC Service Description Table being updated more frequently, and thus accurately reflecting the services the CDSP provides
Are ChMC in support of the proposition to remove the requirement to ask ChMC to approve a Change Proposal which seeks to update the DSC Service Description table?
Subject to ChMC approval, we will also present this proposal to CoMC for approval as well
