Subject: Good meeting Last week
Cheers All, It was a fine meeting last Thursday. The pace and progress are amazing in = a good way. Some updates in our part of the world. 1) We have confirmation from The UN Secretariat that they are abandoning U= NCCS and migrating to UNSPSC for all Agencies and programmes as well as the= ir UNGM site The whole procurement network will be UNSPSC based in 3-4 yea= rs. The Secretariat and the Global marketplace (GM) will go this year and = the other agencies will be mandated to become compliant over the next few y= ears. The latter means that oer 80,000 companies will be required to specif= y their offerings to any part of the UN in UNSPSC in order to become a vali= dated supplier to the UN. 2) The PIC Program is moving very well and the pilots are beyond successfu= l Doug Bailey (whom I steered to your December workshop in Washington DC) = visited the WCO last month at their invitation and they were enthusiastic a= nd supportive of this to the point that Doug was amazed. We believe they w= ill want an international pilot. within 18 months. Doug was also meeting w= ith GS1 Netherlands and an extension of the flower pilot to include Netherl= and imports to The US seems an easy way to get the WCO into the boat so to = speak. There probably will be another pilot from South America to Netherla= nds to make this global in flavor. 3) we have had some talks with OAGIS from the Open Applications Group and = thy are going to conform an object that is the same as in the PIc Guidance = report. UNSPSC code GOC codes and Gtin and will provide a user guide or pro= jected user guide. This means 2 of the 3 dominant xml messaging solutions use this object OAGI= S and RosettaNet. We will talk to UnCefact about ebxml in 2012. 4) We are getting ready to do a Pharma segment review as well as a Medical = devices review We will align our segment to Mirror ATC from The World Healt= h Organization an also Title 21 from the US code this will give us stone d= ead 1 to 1 matches for every national formulary on drugs and the FDA requir= ements. We will also use Title 21 series 8 for the Medical devices. I think after the primer is completed and we have time to breath that an in= formal call would help for me to provide increased visibility on our world = and how we can provide leverage to this endeavor.
