  4. HWG relevant topics covered by the HSG 01/10/12 Review of matters arising from HWG • MCR1122 V2: Introduction of Flag to Identify Sites with Essential Plant - Decision: Approved by HSG • MCR1126 V2: Phone Number Categorisations – A OConnor advised that one supplier rejected the MCR while the other Suppliers indicated that they required more time to assess its impact. N Wray agreed that he would engage further with the business and participant re this MCR. • MCR1111 V1.1: Automated Debt Flagging Solution - Automation of the debt flagging process in RoI will require a Schema change. The development of the preferred industry option for automation will not be ready in time for the scheduled June release.With RoI Suppliers anxious to have an automated solution as soon as possible, they raised the issue at HWG to explore the possibility of moving the June 2013 release to later that year. Feedback from HWG members was requested and forwarded to HSG. No objections were received to moving the release schedule - included feedback from NIE and PowerNI. A OConnor asked the HSG for formal approval of this MCR with the consequence of the impact on the release schedule for 2013. K Kavanagh advised that a change to the release date would need to be considered in setting the next RoI gas Schema Release, which is scheduled for next Summer and A OConnor agreed that Suppliers had also indicated that this should be a factor. C Mannion commented that a change to the Schema Release Plan should be exceptional. CER and NIAUR gave their approval.

  5. HWG relevant topics covered by the HSG 01/10/12 Review of HSG Actions • Covering letter almost finalised and revised Terms of Reference awaiting formal Regulatory signoff. • HSG formally approved the Supplier representatives. • Graeme Hunter, PowerNI • Siobhan Melvin, Airtricity • New Action to Agree and schedule 2013 meeting dates for IGG/CDA/HWG and HSG • New Action for a revised Release Schedule for 2013 for next HSG

  6. HWG relevant topics covered by the HSG 01/10/12 RoI Harmonisation Project • C Garrigan gave an update to HSG. The Scheduled cutover was postponed as the project was not in a position to establish stability with the Hub. Some technical changes have been made since - including hardware addtions. Performance testing has restarted and the HSP team is working towards establishing stability. At this point the priority is to: • Exit Testing Phase Successfully • Agree a revised Cutover Date. • Re the latter, it was noted that it was proving difficult to obtain agreement from all parties involved for alternative dates. • ESBN highlighted that the delay in Go-Live will result in an impact on any follow-on work and will influence work schedules e.g. commencing work for the next Market Release.
