RRDM Member Communication
The primary forum for this Working Group will be a group email list. This list shall be open to any subscriber and publicly archived, and moderated by OpenIDL openIDL staff or other volunteers. The email list should be considered the discussion system of record for the community.

The group may decide to also host conference phone calls, on an ad-hoc or recurring basis, which can be convened, and minutes recorded, by OpenIDL openIDL staff. This may be useful as a way to motivate the community towards a consensus on a position or hear from those for whom the email is too noisy.

-However notes should be posted back to the email list, and important discussions or decisions should not be closed without input from the list. The group may also decide to meet face-to-face, for example at an NAIC conference where many participants will also be attending. As with phone calls, the mailing list should be updated on important points raised or notes taken, and important discussions or decisions should be brought to the list.

The group may elect to shift to a different tool than email, so long as the openIDL Regulatory Reporting Steering Committee agrees.

Deliverables 

The product of the RRDM shall be a set of recommended data models for each of the Property Casualty (P&C) lines of business that are required to be reported in accordance with the NAIC Statistical Handbook. These data models shall be forwarded and adopted by the OpenIDL openIDL Regulatory Reporting Steering Committee. The data models shall consist of the data elements that are necessary to satisfy statistical reporting requirements as defined in the NAIC Statistical Handbook.  The data model may also include optional data elements that may be useful for satisfying state and federal regulatory data calls. To the extend extent possible, data models should adopt definitions previously determined by NAIC and/or other recognized P&C regulatory agencyagencies.

Elements of each line of the business data model will designate data elements as 1) Minimum Stat  2)  Expanded Stat  Stat or 3) Regulatory Request. Required elements are essential data elements that will satisfy existing NAIC Statistical Handbook reporting requirements and must be populated by companies in their Harmonized Data Store. Supplemental data elements are currently included in the Line of Business AAIS Statistical Plan but may not be necessary for satisfying reporting requirements but may be useful in analysis and data call reporting. Emerging data elements are currently not included in AAIS Line of Business Statistical Plans and may be useful in analysis and data call reporting.  Companies are not required to populate in their Harmonized Data Store either Supplemental or Emerging data elements but will not also enjoy the benefits of having those elements available within the OpenIDL openIDL community for group analysis and data call reporting.
