The XBRL International Best Practices Board (BPB),in operation with the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF),is forming a working group to examine and make ncrete remmendations about the best ways to create nsistency in referencing legal identity within XBRL documents.The WG will explicitly develop remmendations about the nsistent use of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs)within XBRL taxonomies and instance documents. 

The LEI is designed to uniquely and unambiguously identify participants in financial transactions.It is a standards based “neutral”de with no embedded intelligence.It is expected,over time,to beme the primary identity mechanism in use around the world,so this effort is an interoperability initiative between XBRL International and GLEIF.

The goal of the WG is to assist data mparability through the suitable use of identity,enhance integrity in identity and ensure software interoperability through the development of agreed semantics for this reference data.As such,XII is seeking a global spread of experts in:XBRL Base Specifications and Taxonomy nstruction;Regulatory and acunting standardisation;and software development.The WG will also be mprised of LEI Standard Operating Procre experts provided from the international GLEIF work. 

The Legal Entity in XBRL Working Group is open to nsortium members and non-member regulators with observer status.Interested individuals should ntact wgadmin@ no later than 20June 2016.The first meeting will be within 21days of the issuance of this notice.
