<xsd:attribute name="EDStartDate" type="xsd:string" />

<xsd:attribute name="EDEndDate" type="xsd:string" />

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="ContactIntegrationId" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string" />

<xsd:element name="EDListOfFirstName" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" type="xsdLocal1:EDListOfFirstName"/>
