NCIP Listserv Topics
- TLC proposal to make the “Application Profile Type” within the Initiation Header element a required element – After some initial group discussion it was determined that the discussion needs to be restarted on the NCIP listserv.
- Unique Agency ID – Discussed in July on NCIP Listserv but no resolution reached. There currently is no industry standard and several members question the need for a truly unique agency ID. Koppel agreed to provide a non-normative set of examples of Agency ID’s. Topic involved to a discussion of the need create NCIP Implementation Guidelines, which was received favorably by several members. Guidelines will need to be broken down into sections and volunteers to create the individual sections. Would be posted on NCIP website for distribution.
- LookUp User revised text – Mark Needleman to re-post text to NCIP listserv with a two week period for comments before a formal vote.
