The minutes were approved.

3)Approval of agenda

The agenda was approved.

4)Action list

The action list was updated.

5)Results of ebIX Forum March 2004

Kees reported from the meeting:

  • Switzerland will be full member from the beginning of 2004;Austria is discussing membership;
  • The ebIX Methodology and Domain model have been approved;
  • The CuS model will be published for comments and some examples of national differences will be added. Approval will then be obtained from the ebIX members by mail.
  • Both the Methodology and the CuS-model will be distributed to a variety of potentially interested (European) bodies.
  • The status of the work in the ebIX groups has been reported (Kees reported for our group);
  • ebIX will continue to link up with EASEE Gas;
  • No European “umbrella”-organisation will be founded in the foreseeable future;
  • The account for 2003 was approved;
  • The budget for 2004 was updated, since the number of participating countries falls behind. Priority will be given to EMD and ETC. Nevertheless was our budget slightly decreased, but no serious consequences for the progress of our work are to be expected.

6)Status of requests to ETC & TF14

On April 27th a special meeting dealing with the introduction of the balance unit into the ebIX-ETSO role model has been convened. From our group were Vlatka and Kees present. After some discussion the conclusion was drawn that we better introduce the balance unit into the model. The balance unit is defined as a set of metering points for which one balance responsible party takes responsibility. A more precise definition will be available after the next scheduled meeting of the harmonisation group.

Also on request of ETSO TF14 Settlement group the Metered Data Aggregator is to be split into a local MDA (linked to a metering grid area) and a central MDA (linked to a balance market area).

Remark: during this harmonisation group on June 14th the balance unit has been renamed into balance group.

Erik Hartwell suggested that EMD should not take special French requirements for metered data into account until France becomes member of ebIX and participates in EMD; Mauricio Monti (RTE) will inform Kees about a possible ebIX-contact for EDF/RTE.

7)Completing model EMD

The EMD model phase 1 was completed and will be distributed to TF14 Settlement group for comments.

8)Structure UTILTS

The structure of UTILTS was reviewed given the requirements of the EMD model (see above). We concluded that the structure of UTILTS will most likely fulfil the requirements posed by the model.

9)Work plan

Next meeting (09) will be dedicated to the mapping to Edifact (UTILTS) and if possible to XML-schema’s.

-we decide to make both Edifact and XML translations

-therefore we plan an additional meeting 10

-meeting 08: final proposal model to be discussed

-meeting 09: final approval of the model, discuss the first draft of translation to Edifact and if possible to XML

-meeting 10: final approval Edifact translation and hopefully draft XML translation; report status to ebIX Forum

-meeting 11: start with reconciliation (and if needed final meeting settlement)

The next scheduled meetings will take place:

-nr .. 14th and 15th of April 2004meeting place: Brussels, Belgium cancelled

-nr 08 2nd and 3rd of June 2004meeting place: Stockholm

-nr 09 6-7 Julymeeting place: Berlin

-nr 10 16-17 Septembermeeting place:Arnhem

-nr 11 28-29 Octobermeeting place: Brussels, Belgium (proposed)
