2. From Sapporo Q3) What is the relationship with other Organizations (like SDOs)? What is the relationship of CEFACT.... in terms of jointly developed standards? -> Need different level of relationships What should/will/can be... and this is the current situation What is the nature of the relationship... How the different organization participate Reference to MoU. But this is already defined... What is the benefit of this relationship? Is another question (not covered here) Need some guidance how this relations are organized Prior work done here by a report of Mark Palmer "How many invoices will be defined by CEFACT" Discussion related here because other SDOs may specify "subtypes" of Invoice-specs. Proposal: Rephrase question to SDOs and closely related Organizations. Orgs. with MoU should also be interested in this and also their feedback
