186 BCC´s. We still miss the change request template to amend these, but it is
on its way.

official status and is being processed. A couple of submissions is withdrawn due
to them being outdated and superseded by new versions in their respective
domains. This is even true for others of the active ones, but as we all know
natural in a period of time where everybody both TBG17 and the (potential)
submitters has been in a learning phase, where even basic concepts has
developed. We should though be passed that now and it is expected that in our
next meeting TBG17 will address the first BIE's in addition to the CC´s. And
once they come, the new submissions will just add so much richer to the
harmonization.

produced a version of our CC´s in a combined spreadsheet (attached) that not
only contains the released set of CC´s but also the next draft and the related
set of CC´s, which we will worked upon in our next meeting. Note that the draft
set says draft 39, but it is correctly 38.

current three different set of CC´s (the released, draft and related) is divided
in relation to the submitters, meaning what part of the different submissions is
covered by the different batches of CC´s. This also shows - interpreted in
another way - what the completion rate is or will be.

> If you wonder why some of the CC´s is attributed to TBG17 it is because it is
either the harmonized result of our work or because some of the things have been
combined between submitters and raised to a TBG17 level. Finally there is also a
few of examples where we have had the need to add BCC´s - based on submissions
but not in there as such. This in order to make ACC´s complete.

> All this means that we are still some time away from progressing a full
concept in terms of a message, but actually this is more due to the fact that we
have had the need to get a pretty good idea of what the CC´s are and populate
the library before we could or can go to the BIE level, which essentially is the
level that is the important one for the users. Furthermore in order to progress
a message we are still missing the document assembly part, that is missing in
CCTS and yet to be developed.

there are still a number of potential groups missing. We also have an increased
number of requests from especially other CEFACT PG to work with them and it is
very difficult for TBG17 to use resources for that while at the same time needs
so heavily to focus on the harmonization. In essence a number of these request
are as much the responsibility of the full TBG, but more on that later.
