A Key role of MRASCo is to manage the Change Control process regarding six Industry Products. These Products include the Master Registration Agreement (MRA), the Data Transfer Catalogue (DTC), and MRA Agreed Procedures (MAPs). These are the three core Products because they outline procedures that MRA Parties must comply with under the MRA.
Guidelines and Working Practices are designed to support these core Products and are not mandatory to follow, while the MRASCo Model shows key industry activities in a diagrammatical format.
When changes are made to either the MRA, DTC, WPPS or MRASCo Model through the Change Management process, a new version is released on one of three release dates. Release dates for MRA Products fall on the last Thursday in February, the last Thursday in June (hard copy release date), and the first Thursday in November. If changes are made to MAPs and Guidelines then these Products are released when necessary as they are discrete documents. However, MAPs and Guidelines are commonly released simultaneously with other Products.
