• To produce an organisation that is more coherent in its structure, built on on a work flow approach (best practice) and which could be more easily understood from an external perspective.
• To take account of the results of the first stage of ebXML (initiative UN/CEFACT and OASIS) and the development of web services
• To encourage synergy among the different groups we empower and the approaches they take
Why the New Organisation and the Forum?

The UN/CEFACT Forum Some Clarifications
• Each empowered group reports to the Plenary
• Empowerment is a delegated authority and comes with a responsibility to the UN/CEFACT Plenary and its policies
• The UN/CEFACT Forum is a meeting of all of the empowered groups designed to encourage synergy across the work programme and be cost effective. However, groups and constituents can also meet outside the Forum if they wish

The UN/CEFACT Forum Some Clarifications
• The Forum is driven by the business and trade facilitation needs of government and industry. TBG is the focal point for the expression of those needs and the starting point for Forum coordination to meet the needs
• The Forum Management Group is directly responsible for the management of the Forum– Executing the work programme– Ensuring coordination of related work among Permanent Groups– Preventing duplication among Permanent Groups– Providing recommendations to the Bureau and the Plenary
• The Plenary Bureau will remain responsible for the overall implementation and management of plenary decisions and policy
