About the MoU: An agreement was executed between GS1 and RFIDAA to continue to work together on standards based RFID adoption. GS1 has the responsibility to represent EPCglobal in Australia and RFIDAA acknowledges the need for their leadership, member communications and standards leadership. The role of RFIDAA is recognised by GS1 to focus on Australian industry and government needs and programs.
We look forward to the continued relationship to help both organisations membership.
Next step: The new board will run an internal half day workshop early September 2006 to revisit and revise the RFIDAA strategy.
