**Data Model Development**

 * ‘Unique Transaction ID’
 * Datatype: String
 * Added a definition, “Unique ID for an instance of this transaction used for reconciliation and audit across all regular systems”
 * Cardinality is 1. There must be one and there can only be one.
 * Suggested format is UUID or equivalent
 * Changed name from Transaction ID to Message ID to make content of data element clearer
 * Will we support international addresses?
 * The underlying standards will accommodate international work, but the use cases are for the United States only.
 * At this time, we will not be accommodating international addresses
