TSC Action Item FollowUp

Dear TSC members,

 

During our last telecon we ran out of time to discuss an
action that we had been given from the TC. The action item from the TC is as
follows:

   ACTION (12/18): AS to get answer from
TSC regarding JPLSC

   comment 25.

 

JPLSC comment 25 to the 2.0 update package is as
follows:

Shipment (ASBIE)

  
  
  
The definitions of Shipment (ASBIE) in BillOfLading and
  Waybill are differrent each other,

  
We think that these definitions should be same.

  
Definition (BillOfLading): Information about the separately
  identifiable collection of goods items (available to be) transported from one
  consignor to one consignee via one or more modes of transport.

  
Definition (Waybill): A separately identifiable collection
  of goods items (available to be) transported from one consignor to one
  consignee via one or more modes of transport.

  
 

 

 

I think it is appropriate that there be consistency
across the various documents when the same ASBIEs are identified and their
definitions used. With regard to the definition of Shipment, I believe that we
have previously had an email exchange and a telecon discussion regarding an
appropriate definition. Based upon a contribution by Tim
 McGrath and subsequent discussions, I propose that we adopt
the definition we last discussed presented in a grammatically correct form.

 

•         
SHIPMENT

The arrangements necessary for an identifiable
collection of one or more goods items to be transported between the original
consignor and the ultimate consignee. This information represents what is
required, that is a “logical” or contractual view. A shipment can
be transported in different consignments (eg split for logistical purposes).

 

I propose that this be the resolution of the action
item. If I don’t receive a response within 7 days, I will presume
concurrence. Jon will then use this definition wherever the definition of
shipment is used.

 

 

Regards,

Andy Schoka
