It was agreed that the issue is too complex to include in the Corrigendum and further discussion will be needed.

2021-03-09 9 Mar 2021 Plenary Further discussion is required around the issue of making some of the features optional instead of mandatory. The editor of ASdm agreed to log the issue in Annex Z of the next draft.

Further discussion is required. Technical experts review
