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.

Outstanding December Face to Face Meeting

Many thanks to all who helped make our December face to face meeting a tremendous success! We had a record crowd and many amazing presentations.

It was great to see all of the energy in the room. We also had good turnouts for our two Working Group meetings the next day. Both the Logistics WG and the OAGIS Release 10 WG made good progress.

We have posted the presentations from the meeting on our website and all the presentations are free. The link to the download page is here.
