Metals Industry Council Finalized

We had a terrific meeting yesterday in Chicago and finalized our contract with the Metals Industry.

We signed the contract and we had detailed discussions on moving their work program forward. They seem very ready to make real progress in 2010.

This is our third Industry Council now, with High Tech, Chemical, and Metals, in addition to our Architecture Council and our Partner Council.

It seems the message of cross industry standards based on UN/CEFACT Core Components technology resonates.

Thanks again for all of the support.

OAGi Anti-Trust Policy

With the growth of our Industry Councils, it has become time to implement an OAGi Anti-Trust Policy.

I have been working with our Board and the heads of Councils to develop this policy, and today we rolled it out.

It is very straight forward thanks to some teamwork from one our of sister standards organization.

I invite you to read it here.
