<p class="MsoNormal">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>
