Everyone,<br>
<br>
I think that I've rarely sent out such a timely message. There have
been many questions lately about relationship designator best
practices. PCC has been hard at work developing our initial set of
guidelines and I am extremely pleased to be able to distribute them
today. As you know, these guidelines were developed from the
impressive report sent out to you earlier: PCC Relationship
Designator Guidelines Task Group Report. The TG, chaired by Chew
Chiat Naun (membership: Paige Andrew, Eileen Dewitya, Linda Gabel,
Kate Harcourt, Beth Iseminger, Christee Pascale, Dave Reser and
Katia Strieck), produced a thoughtful report filled with many
recommendations, additional questions, and some initial guidelines.
<br>
<br>
That report has been vetted with you. Based on your responses, the
TG produced a revised and final report. Then, from that report, we
have created this set of initial guidelines. Kate Harcourt has done
an amazing job in pulling them together and I thank her heartily!
These new guidelines were vetted at OpCo and PoCo has been busy
making some final adjustments. <br>
<br>
I'd like to stress here that these are <i>initial </i>guidelines.
We are still gaining experience with our new model and we should
feel free to revise our documentation in an agile manner as best
practices become more apparent. This is a great milestone for us
and could not come at a better time. My sincere thanks to all that
have made this possible!<br>
<br>
