Agenda

Main Topics

• Policy Requirements - PR #646, Issue #608
  • Note updates from last meeting
  • Is all of Requirements a breaking change as is written?
    • Yes since if agencies can now require specific optional fields, providers may not have support for these fields in previous 1.0 or 1.1 MDS versions
    • Can mitigate by clarifying that while in beta, required things are just requested for now, but will be required in the next major release.
  • Discuss the concept of 'disallowing' specified endpoints and required fields
    • What are the benefits and real-world use cases of this for agencies?
    • What are the repercussions of this if implemented?
    • Does this place a burden on providers to implement by removing fields that have always been required?
