As a result of feedback from our distributor members, the CITS Base Policy Foundation Guide has been updated with new data requirements.

This guide is used by both the CITS Application Notification and Book of Business Feeds.

The version 1.8 guide along with corresponding samples, subschemas, and documentation have been posted to the CLIEDIS Resource Center.
