Kepa, Re ASCA extension request listing.....I'm fuzzy on the value, since one is not required to police other CE's in this regard, and also since there are extremely strong recommendations that all CE's submit the plan and extension request.
What's the value to having this publicly available in your opinion? Rachel Rachel Foerster Principal Rachel Foerster & Associates, Ltd.

The Claredi directory will then show their exact certification. Since just about anybody could lift the "Claredi certified" logo and put it in their web site (it is protected by Copyright, so they would be in violation of the law if they do it) it is important that if you see the "Claredi certified" symbol, you click on it to verify the contents of the directory for that entity. - The other way is by going directly to the Claredi directory yourself. On April 1st Claredi opened free access to the directory to the general public. 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?
