Several system changes will require changes in international interface control documents (ICD), notably the North Atlantic (NAT), the Pacific (PAC) and North American (NAM) ICDs.

I believe that these interfaces need to be available for testing between States by the first quarter of 2012 at the latest so that from 1 April 2012 ANSPs can be certain that NEW FPL data can be passed as soon as they transition to NEW.

Question:

1. Who is taking the lead on each of these Interfaces and,
2. What is the proposed implementation dates for the changes.
