What we now need are: • UN/CEFACT Priority Projects • Market driven/Stakeholder requirements • Resources - Human & Financial • Human - Right skill sets to match priority tasks • Financial - UN/CEFACT needs funding • Improve Forum meeting logistics • Capacity Building Programme • Based on what UN/CEFACT can deliver 13th UN/CEFACT Plenary
Future Challenges The UNECE Executive Committee will review in October 2007: • All PG Mandates & TORs which terminate in 2007 • Under UN rules, there are no Permanent Groups • PGs can be extended for two years at a time • To obtain extensions each PG will have to provide serious justification • This means that each PG will have to show its POW, what it has achieved in terms of deliverables, future plans & deliverables over the next two years.UN/CEFACT will have to report back every year. 13th UN/CEFACT Plenary
