    Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Case Initiation Elements


    Just for the record, I'm completely neutral on whether the more extensive set of elements is included in the Review Filing message structure.� I think this should be determined by those with experience implementing our envisioned Filing Review MDE functionality, and business expertise, as John suggests.

    However, I can say that modeling and mapping the more extensive set of elements presents a schedule risk for us.� Assuming we decide to move forward including the elements, we'll need to figure out how to mitigate the schedule impact for early July.� Whatever strategy we use, we should seek to reuse the work already done on reference IEPs in these areas...that will reduce (but not eliminate) the schedule impact.
