[Platforms] Content Governance - splitting codes with multiple hulls

[Marilynn Sørensen]

Dear Platform group,

I have spoken with/heard from a few of you (the UK, France, Norway and the US) in the past week and have a preliminary acceptance of option 3) for the splitting of codes with multiple hulls. I would appreciate more responses especially if you disagree. 

We have begun to split codes in this way so please send in your lists as has been done by Norway so codes can be created for identifiable single hulls.

Best regards,
Marilynn

&ref=315. Please take a look at the current setup which may be new for some of you. Press the green arrow to download and view attributes. We suggest that a facility is created to track the relationships between the old multiple hull codes and the new single hull codes. It will be up to each country which code they use in their own databases but the tracking facility will allow international linking to the correct hull via the dates.

If a common rule can not be found for splitting, each country should specify the option they prefer.

Please discuss this and/or other solutions.

Kind regards,
Marilynn
