PN UNC UK-Link Committee

Established by Mod Panel to facilitate discussions on topics and development of mods

Requirement for workgroup will cease once modifications are approved

Still a requirement for, and value in, a business focussed group

Clarifications, data cleansing, testing, transition & migration arrangements

Focus on technical matters only
