What we need is a mechanism for public review of all strategic
decisions that will be very hard to change later (such as the
definition of new EDIFACT messages). If interested parties find a
serious flaw, then there must be an effective power of veto.
This would mean an end to the current fashion of trying to push
through unpopular administrative changes stealthily, by tinkering
with computer systems. However, that would be no bad thing - and
perhaps a suitable New Year's resolution for our lords and masters?

Right.
I have always been proud of the (small number of) paper forms I have
produced. So proud that I put my name on them. All electronic message
formats should have the name of theperson who designed (or the chairman
of the ctee who signed them off as good) on them.
I have a list of names which is growing, please feel free to add to it
(allegedly).
Give credit where it is due, and debit ditto.
