MP167B Review of SEC documents (DCC Internal Systems change governance)

The Proposer has identified several areas that appear to be no longer applicable to the Code. Ofgem also raised an action for SECAS to review the SEC and rationalise where possible.
Following discussions in the Refinement Process, it was agreed that the original SEC Modification MP167 will be split into two separate modifications.
MP167B looks at internal DCC System changes, and will investigate whether testing governance needs to be incorporated into the SEC.

The Proposed Solution is to define the Programme Assurance Policy, and reference the document in the SEC. This will obligate the DCC to adhere to the document when it is initiating a project or programme with potential DCC User impacts.
