Themes going forward
UN Economic Commission for Europe
Following inputs and consultations since the 17th UN/CEFACT Forum in Geneva, the Bureau's proposal for change continues to focus on a streamlined management structure, greater engagement and outreach with other institutions and experts and more procedural flexibility to achieve more timely completion of deliverables.
Steps have also been taken to follow up on Forum discussions by showing more fully the ways in which continuity of domain expertise can be addressed.
Essentially the Plenary Bureau takes a more active and continuous role in formulating and addressing:
Impact of consultations
UN Economic Commission for Europe
• UN/CEFACT‘s Plenary-approved Programme of Work (PoW)
• Projects approved by the Plenary Bureau within the PoW that follow:
The Open Development Process (revised proposal) Including the three-country rule indicating member State
support
• More specifically, this involves two key focal points for activities with experts:
Programme Development Areas which prepare the groundwork for the programme of work, by identifying strategic requirements of stakeholders & formulating coherent sets of related project proposals
Project Teams to do the work in as timely a way as possible 13

This is the initial Registry of Domains of June 2011 announced by the Bureau as a key element in providing continuity of domain communities of experts. It will also facilitate support for the Programme Development Areas, consideration of new projects, communication of domain requirements and liaison. Domain Coordinators are confirmed by the Bureau and serve as key focal points for leading domain consideration of issues and outreach to potential new participants.
The Roster* facilitates transparency of those participating in the work of UN/CEFACT and identifies experts interested in collaboration in Domains and in skills for supporting various activities in Programme Development Areas, Project Teams and Bureau Programme Support:
• Alphabetical
• Country / NGO / International Organisation
• Skill
Roster of Experts
* Volunteer experts are nominated by Plenary Heads of Delegation and are invited to be listed in the Roster of Experts, which contains information in order to facilitate awareness of their skills, without endorsement by UN/CEFACT or UNECE.
