The future of UN/CEFACT • Increase throughput time – perfection is not asked for • Good quality expected – error free standards will never happen • Delay of current development will have impact • Develop future-proof and scalable standards • UN/CEFACT risks becoming a victim of its own success • Key words: reusability, distributed development, stable methodologies • Continue and increase outreach to other organisations • WCO, EU, WTO, APEC • ANSI, CEN, ISO • OMG, W3C, IETF
