Dear @JohannaOtt,

I don’t remember any other discussions on the subject.
In any case, I think you can complete your change proposal in order to start the governance process.

Have you thought about the alternative dataType? It could be "CI_ResponsibleParty".

Moreover, I think that the same problem also concerns the attribute "authority" of the feature type "OwnerAuthority".

@JohannaOtt
since the changing of the authority data type would require a change in the IR (and clearly also in the TG, the UML and the XML schema itself), I just checked the document with latest submitted IR change proposals (now in the Comitology procedure) and there is no change request for the MaintenanceAuthority / OwnerAuthority, hence for sure the Forum discussion did not turn into any IR change request. That said, I agree that the CI_Citation data type, meant for 'standardized resource reference' is not suited to authority element and agree with @fabiovinci that CI_ResponsibleParty could be more suited.

@fabiovinci @sMorrone Thank you for the feedback. I adapted the proposal description accordingly.

Below are some screenshots of the involved elements.

Subgroup meeting on 24.03.2022:
the Subgroup approved this change proposal.

I agree CI_ResponsibleParty suits better,but I wonder what the impact is on existing implementations using the gmd:CI_Citation.

If the change request is approved, which may not be so soon as the proposed change will follow the established procedure for proposing changes to the IR, the existing implementations would certainly be impacted, as the proposed one is a breaking change preventing the backward compatibility of the TN schema.

@sMorrone thanx, can you add this label wherever it applies for the issues on the agenda of the MIG-T ?

During the joint MIG/MIG-T meeting held on 31/03-01/04/2022, the proposal was accepted. However, a request for additional information was put forward by AT and it was agreed that a formal request for clarification will be added as a comment to this thread. Once this will be addressed, the proposal can be endorsed without the need for additional voting.
More details in the meeting minutes on the 69th MIG-T meeting page

During the 71st MIG-T held on 2022-10-07, AT was asked to provide the expected feedback by 31 Oct 2022, after which date, in the absence of feedback, the workflow on the proposal (already approved by the MIG) would have been considered completed (see meeting minutes, under “Action 2.3.1. Governance of INSPIRE artefacts”). Given the absence of feedback as of today's date, this proposal is considered approved by the MIG.
