Final Resolution:

Backwards Compatible:  YES

Apr LNPAWG (DC), group O.K. with this.

This will be put into the queue of CMA updates to the FRS.  No date has been scheduled.

Aug LNPAWG (Portland), reviewed the seven new requirements for the new section (3.9 BDD functionality).  Will add another requirement to capture the automatic placement of the file into the requesting SP’s FTP sub-directory.

Sep LNPAWG (Chicago), reviewed new requirement (req 3.9.8).  It was requested to add a note to Appendix E to indicate that the current functionality uses the activation timestamp criteria, and this will NOT include subsequent modifications made within the activation timestamp range.  For example, an SV was activated three months ago, then a modify active request was issued during the 12 hours of an SP’s downtime.  When the SP requests a bulk data download for those missing 12 hours, the modify active request will NOT be included in the BDD file.

Oct LNPAWG (KC), group accepted updates.  Move to next doc category.
