Page 2 of 12

CBPP/6 October 1999

17. Resolution 600a, Attachment ‘B’ is to be amended by adding a new Appendix ‘C’, which will list the Charge Codes reflected in the IFARES Manual.

Action: Secretary

Item B/2 Resolution 600a, Air Waybill - Attachment B

19. The Dangerous Goods Board agreed to changes to the Dangerous Goods Regulations that pertained to statements that are included in the “Handling Information” box of the air waybill. The DGB proposed that Resolution 600a be amended accordingly in order to maintain consistency.

20. Some members expressed concern about the changes. It was felt that background information would have assisted in better understanding the reasoning for the change. Members were to confer with their respective DGB members and then advise the Secretary of their position. The Secretary would then advise the Panel the results of the feedback received and whether the item was agreed or not. The item was considered deferred.

Action: CBPP Members, Secretary

Page 3 of 12

CBPP/6 October 1999

Item B/3 Resolution 606, Bar Coded Label - Total Number of Pieces

21. The SITTF proposed that the “Total Number of Pieces” field on a bar coded label be changed from mandatory to optional. This would then enable members and - their customers to better support the concept of unique piece level tracking.

22. The CBPP agreed to the proposal. A Notice of Amendment will be issued to all CSC Members and FIATA advised accordingly.

Action: Secretary

Item B/4 Security Charge - France

23. Members were provided with the details regarding a security charge recently introduced in France. The charge is shown on the air waybill using the Other Charges Code “SC”. It was noted that “SC” is one of the duplicate codes identified in the IFARES Manual. (Refer to Agenda Item B/l).

Item C/l Resolution 671. Changes to Cargo-IMP - FWB Message

24. It was proposed to add an optional account number in the NOM line of the FWB message that would identify the Agent at import and also be the key to automatically receive pertinent FSU messages.

25. Members outlined the manner in which their systems handle this situation, some of which included the use of the participant file. The proponent offered to discuss the matter further with the ED1 department and then to confirm whether to withdraw the item or to continue with its submission.

Action: LH I

Item C/2 Resolution 671- Changes to Cargo-IMP - FHL Message

26. It was proposed to increase the number of HAWBs with details permitted in the FHL message from one to a multiple number. The FHL message permits a multiple number of HAWB numbers only without any other details.

27. An airline member interfacing with a forwarder required the change. This would require a version change to the FHL message. One member indicated that they did not have a requirement for this change but would have to make a system change in order to accept/process the new version.

28.

29.

It was agreed to request the CDITF to review the proposal and determine other potential low cost options.

The proponent was asked to verify with their customers, the frequency of use of this new message format and to assess the cost versus the benefit. The proponent is then to advise the Secretary by 15 December 1999.

Agreement was reached that the Prepaid Charge Summary and/or the Collect Charge Summary are to be shown in the FWB message whether Other Charges on Line 13 is shown or not. The Secretary was requested to advise Traxon and to amend the Cargo IMP Manual as proposed. This would be an editorial change and not require a version change to the message.

Action: Secretary \ .

To facilitate piece level tracking, the SITTF proposed the development of a Cargo IMP message which allows the carrier to provide the shipper with an unsolicited piece level status update. After detailed discussions of the business requirements and benefits, the proposal was agreed and submitted to the CDITF for technical development.

Action: Secretary, CDITTF

A member recommended that the messages should begin with the alpha letter “F” rather than the proposed “P” to maintain consistency. The CDITF would be responsible to determine the appropriate three alpha codes and message titles.

During discussions of Agenda Items C/10 to C/15, it was recognised it would be beneficial that the purpose and usage of these messages be outlined. The SITTF was requested to develop a draft document for presentation to the Cargo

53. The following Cargo Committee action items involving the CBPP and its sub- groups were of particular interest and discussed in detail: l Endorsement of the CPTTF Business Plan and hiring of the Paperless

Transportation Project Director. l Establishment of a prototype trial for a paperless process. l Development of a Best Practices Guide for paperless transportation based on

the prototype trial results. l Development of a “White paper” by the SITTF recommending future direction

and potential applications. l Endorsement of the CBPP and its sub-groups meeting outside of the two city

rule if deemed beneficial based on the agenda, issues and cost.

54. Given the number of Boards, Panels, Task Forces and Working Groups, the members recognised the importance of ensuring the various activities are made known to all individuals concerned. This will allow for proper communication and awareness. The Secretary was requested to ensure that the CSC Chairman was on the distribution list for the Minutes of all CSC sub-groups and that the groups are advised accordingly. Members also emphasised the importance of the Minutes being distributed as soon as possible after each meeting. It was felt that a time frame of four weeks was realistic.

Action: Secretary

CNS plans to introduce a neutral air waybill with the CNS logo and a modified Conditions of Contract applicable from a United States perspective. Use of the air waybill by the airlines is optional.

62. A discussion then took place and the following questions and concerns were raised: l Impact on legal liability

l Claims and insurance departments have concerns l Resolution 600a does not permit non-carrier air waybills l Business purpose and requirement unclear l Loss of carrier logo is a commercial issue l World wide air waybill standard may be diluted

l Discussions being held with accounting individuals who are not familiar with legalities and operational aspects of the air waybill

63. The Panel requested that a letter be drafted in co-operation with IATA Legal advising CNS of the concerns raised by the Panel and requesting details of the processes that are envisioned. The draft letter is to be reviewed by the CBPP Chairman prior to it’s mailing.

70.

and if they were prepared to approve them. The members advised that they were not prepared to approve them at this time. It was agreed that the Members review the Minutes as soon as possible and advise the Secretary. s

-, Action: CBPP Members

The Members indicated their dissatisfaction with the length of time taken for the Minutes to be issued and requested all future Minutes be issued within four weeks of the end of the meeting.

A participant asked when the specifications for the Cargo IMP messages agreed to at this meeting would be available. The next issue of the Cargo IMP Manual will be issued 01 July 2000. It was agreed that the specifications could be made available in a supplement which would be issued once the CDITF had completed their work and the Notice of Amendment process had been completed with no opposition.

An air waybill set with coloured paper as per Resolution 600a, which had been produced on a laser printer, was shown to the Panel for review and approval. It was agreed that the air waybill met the specifications outlined in Resolution 600a. However concern was expressed relative to the problems that would result if there was a mis-alignment or mis-feed of the colour paper during printing. It was felt that it would be more practical to eliminate the requirement for the colour coding of the air waybill copies.

Item D/98 Date and Place of Next Meeting

71. An invitation had been extended by Japan Airlines to review the cargo handling in Japan and to host the next CBPP meeting in Tokyo. The Panel agreed that this would provide members with an expanded knowledge base of varied cargo handling processes and assist them in future dealings on development issues.

XML/EDI - the Vision XML Simply Stated

l :* Use XML for business to business data exchanges

l :* Combine XML with the best from traditional EDI which is built on 30 years of business communication experience

l :* Develop global semantic dictionaries for business terms

IATA law

XML does : . offer greater opporhmitks for SMG: . enabkthewofthehternetmthwthan

pcopirtarv - . allow easier translation of messages into

formats needed by l ppliatioan.

But XML &es not: . an its own kad to semantic wdustanding: . natwdly lad to implementation converga~r.

However “. with UNEOIFACT and a strategic global vision these problems can be overcome.
