INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS IN DEVELOPMENT
Ad-Hoc Committee of Experts to Release First Version of Business-to-Business Standards at 2007 NAMM Show

To support commerce between Commercial and Retail Members, NAMM formed a committee of technology experts to draft business-to-business (B2B) standards for the music products industry. This Ad-Hoc Technology Committee of the NAMM Board of Directors has been working since early 2006 to develop consistent, efficient methods for conducting electronic transactions, and now plans to release version 1.1 of the standards in January.

Are you interested in the B2B standards and other technology issues? The committee is hosting a meeting of the NAMM B2B Interest Group at the show, at noon on Friday, January 19, 2007, in Huntington Ballrooms A, B and C of the Hilton Anaheim Hotel. The standards will be presented at this meeting, which is open to all Members, so please come to hear about the committee’s progress and share your ideas. This is a lunch meeting, so if you are attending, please help us plan ahead—you can RSVP on NAMM’s B2B micro-site at http://b2b.namm.org.
