URGENT: Separating ICD maps from the International Edition

Hi everyone

During our discussions on the upcoming transition to Frequent Delivery, we've identified several restrictions to the new process as a result of having to align the subsequent mapping efforts for each monthly release. This is because, at the moment, both ICD-0 and ICD-10 maps necessarily form part of the International Edition release package.

We are therefore considering extricating the ICD-0 and ICD-10 maps from the International Edition package after we move to frequent delivery. We would release a separate derivative ICD map package quarterly, containing all of the maps based on an identified International Edition package.

So, for example, the January 2022 Release would be published on 31st, and the related Map derivative package would be released a couple of weeks later (within 1 month of the dependent International Edition package).

This is still very much in the initial discussion stage, and so all we're asking for is your initial impressions - pro's and con's of the idea, and in particular whether or not it would cause you or your users any significant problems?

Thanks very much for your help!
