UN/CEFACT

Core components may be placed in the repository

via an RSM after harmonisation and validation.
The TBG may issue maintenance requests on
syntax solutions that are directly processed by the
ATG and audited by the ICG.
Syntax independent code list modifications are
processed by the ICG and are submitted to ODP
approval.
A draft of the BRS/RSM template will be
available prior to the next Forum meeting.
