Position paper first draft

[marc.van.hilvoorde@nl.pwc.com]

All,

You will find a first draft of the position
paper next generation. It is a very early and rough working document. Also
the f2f notes and the mindmap.

First I want to deeply apologize to
all of you for letting you all wait so long for this first version. I had
a version a pretty long time ago, threw my notes away and wanted a last
check on spelling. A couple weeks later I could not find this electronic
version anymore, and I had a real tough time accepting this, because I
thought it was a good start and had all the relevant points we had in our
discussions in London. I regret not be able to join you. 

I remember we had some sort of an agreement
on a strong focus on higher management levels, to educate them and help
them understand why using open standards, and in particular XML based standards
are relevant for them. But the notes are totally uniform with my memory.


My idea was that we could structure
the document as follows (apart from standard chapters like abstract/summary
etc), :


1) What is the tax filing process (as
we see it)
- What information does tax authority
want from business?
- How can they get this information?

   - current processes
   - future processes
   - layers in the processes


2) Scenario's 
 - Requirements for different scenario's
 - open standards
- ...
- ...


3) What are open standards?
general
examples: 
What is XML?
XBRL
XBRL GL
UBL
.. 

4) How does open standards fit with
relevant scenario's?
 - mapping of requirements and
possible solutions



With these thougths and background I
have started to structure the document. Needless to say that I just want
to facilitate the discussion and that every possible outcome of the discussion
can be incorporated into the document.
