Re: Vendor certification

[Natasha Farvan]

We're applying for an extension.   Natasha Farvan Sr. I.S.

But, to protect the privacy of Claredi's customers, the existing Claredi customers must choose to "opt in" to have their certification listed (for free) in the publicly available version of the directory, and choose what items of information they want to publish.  So far only a few of the Claredi customers have chosen to publish their information.  In general we have seen that Claredi customers that are not yet certified want to be invisible until they get at least the first certification.  We respect that. The directory also lets them post demographic, encryption key certificates, trading partner agreements, companion documents, etc. but so far most people are limiting their directory listing to just minimal demographics and certifications they have completed.  Some also list their "work in progress" icons for the transactions they are working on.  Slowly people are becoming more open about their transaction implementation progress. Now I have a question for the group.  Should we offer this directory for covered entities to list whether they have applied for an ASCA extension?
