Increase throughput time – perfection is not asked for• Good quality expected – error free standards will never
happen• On track – new organisation and critical mass in libraries
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• However! First choice should be to work together within
