Observations 2010

• Slow submission of iPIC infosheet by countries in
  2010. Possibly due to
• 1st ODS group banned, the 2nd group not
  controlled yet (no quota).
• Less motivation for iPIC?
• Staff change?
• Workload of the HPMP preparation?
• Some key countries in ODS trade not participating
  e.g., India, Russia, and USA
• Language
• In development
• Just on time tool and regular updates
• Access though a password for participating
  countries
