Report from the Plenary
The coordinator informed participants on the outcomes of the last Plenary. During the Plenary:

the request for mandate on FATCA was discussed and modifications proposed. The amended
request for mandate was approved via a written procedure.
-
The reorganization of the subgroups was discussed but will be finalized on 16 November. The
mandate of the subgroup will likely not change. The interaction with the future eGOV
subgroup and the FMS on e.g. Codes of Conduct needs to be clarified and will be discussed at
the November Plenary.

Regarding the info notes, it was agreed that info notes for state of play will be written only
and no discussion will follow. Further there will be more frequent use of the written
procedure.

The original mandate relating to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) was modified and
