Please provide input into this UN/CEFACT survey of standards foreBusiness, Government and Trade.

[Tim McGrath <tim.mcgrath@documentengineeringservices.com>]

For several years the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and 
Electronic Business (CEFACT) has been developing a set of electronic 
standards for international trade data. Progress has been slower than 
had been hoped for, and CEFACT is currently reassessing stakeholder 
needs and priorities to ensure that its work is addressing the most 
urgent requirements. The UN/CEFACT project teams responsible are 
consulting those already involved in CEFACT’s work as well as a 
selection of stakeholders that are not, in order to submit a report to 
CEFACT by the end of February 2010. They would be grateful if you would 
complete this online survey by 23 January 2010 at the latest.

There is a long standing collaboration to ensure that UBL version 2 
converges with effective future standards from UN/CEFACT. This survey is 
an important means to promote these requirements and ensure the 
convergence moves in the right direction - a situation we would all 
benefit from. Therefore I encourage you all to have your say now. 
Consider it your task for the festive season!

The survey is available at:
