CSWG UPDATE cont. • Synchronization of Dispute Timeline and MarkeTrak • Reviewed Load Disputes Associated with Data Extract Variances. • Reviewed protocol language (section 9.14). • Emphasis will be on managing Load disputes in the MarkeTrak timelines and providing a fail-safe for QSEs representing load with Data Extract Variances that take time to resolve. • An NPRR will be developed by CSWG to clarify the protocol language.
