“7.3. Phase 2 — Development
All actors concerned shall develop the system following the provisions of the phase 1 deliverables as follows:
|
(a)
|
Project governance
In order to guarantee the appropriate development of the system the governance structure as described in technical document B.61 (see Annex V) shall be progressively implemented by the actors.
Roles and responsibilities of all actors shall evolve with the implementation of the new governance structure as described in technical document B.61.
The steering committee set up under phase 1 will be maintained in phase 2 until the governance structure described in technical document B.61 is fully operational. Its rules of procedure will be updated also to take into account its new role which is to monitor progress of implementation of the new governance structure, the architecture developed in phase 1 and the development of the system by individual companies taking particularly into account the adherence to the application guides published and maintained by ERA. Before recognising the end of phase 2 the Steering Committee will issue an opinion on the legal status and ownership of the Application Guides.
Full compliance with technical document B.61 will be considered as a presumption of conformity of the new governance structure with the requirements of this Regulation. However due to the nature of the document and the continuous need for alignment of the governance structure to the real needs of the market, any deviation from its provisions should be immediately reported to the Steering Committee which will assess the deviation and decide if the technical document and/or its legal status needs to evolve at the end of phase 2.
|
|
(b)
|
Master Plan
In order to guarantee the appropriate development of the system all actors concerned shall cooperate and implement the system in full adherence to the master plan as specified in ERA technical document B.62 (see Annex V).
|
|
(c)
|
Development of the system
All actors concerned shall cooperate and develop the retail architecture of the system according to the architecture provisions as described in ERA technical document B.60 (see Annex V).
All concerned actors shall cooperate and develop the system and its parts as to be as much as possible compliant with the Application Guides as described in the technical documents:
Full compliance with these technical documents will be considered as a presumption of conformity of the system with the technical requirements of this Regulation. Any deviation from the Application Guides shall be reported to the Steering Committee which will assess it in the context of its role described under item (a). As the Application Guides B.50 to B.56 referred to in Annex III are not mandatory specifications, they are not subject to the Change Control Management.”
