Unique identification in Crop Protection Messaging () - 30 minutes

Group receives feedback on discussions with AGIIS team, develops request for consideration by the DOC.

15 SEP 2020 Activities:

• Action Update. 

• Will review PCR process with the retail group on this call

• Will solicit specifics for the enhancement request and document for the DOC

ACTION - @Brent Kemp to follow up with DOC leadership to find out if they are planning any follow up from Virtual MYM discussion; will report back and develop next steps.

• DOC is willing to consider enhancement possibility but needs details in the form of a PCR

• Josh Wall reviewed the PCR process with call participants.

  • Basic form available on the AgGateway website - AGIIS Enhancement form - under the AGIIS section of the AgGateway website

  • Noted that this particular topic may be a little more detailed or require some additional discussion, but in line with what the enhancement process is intended to address: benefit to subscribers, benefit to the industry

  • Once the request is submitted it goes to Member Services and may result in some clarifying questions before forwarding to the Directory Oversight Committee (DOC).

  • Reviewed the DOC prioritization and evaluation process at a high level. Reviewed communication back to submitter. Noted that the DOC has 500 hours of development time per year available to them. 

  • Observed that the DOC reviews the enhancement holistically - development, QA and UAT are all included as part of the PCR development. Documentation updates are considered. File formats and impact to the existing directory structure for new integrations are also considered. 

  • Release schedule, communications and user release notes reviewed at a high level. Notices posted to the AGIIS site, eBlasts, newsletters, and other communications released to advise subscribers and users of the new functionality.

• Josh noted that there were a series of enhancements over the past year or so that were developed using a specific set of pre-planning calls and meetings. Use cases, needs and requirements assessments and documentation, and stakeholder alignment took place. Model is being used again for a data privacy enhancement investigation request. 

• Questions for Josh?

Starting the Process

• Use Case - already defined in previous notes (Brent to go back and grab that)

• Considers posting a cross reference table

  • Visibility

  • Edit permissions

  • Access - system-to-system, UI, file integrations/formats, upload and download 

  • Legality - who can post information, who is responsible for maintaining information, is there a limit to what can be posted

  • What information is needed and desired

  • Does a particular identifier's owner have to be an AGIIS subscriber in order for the identifier to "reside" in the cross reference?

Next Steps

• Brent, Josh, Randy, Julie to catch up and set agenda for a call for discussion

• Anyone interested in participating in the discussion is welcome
