Version: Stage 4 - For Public Review

Public Review Guide

Welcome to the Guide for the Public Review for the UN/CEFACT GRID Project.

Applicability

This guide is applicable when the project is in the period of public review. Outside of the public review period the guide serves as an information source for the process to be followed during public review.

The success of the GRID design and use of DIAs relies on the diverse perspectives of global subject matter experts, policymakers, and industry professionals. We invite you to review the draft documentation and provide your insights to help ensure the technical foundation and governance of this directory are robust and universally applicable.

The public review period closes 60 days from opening: [DATE TBC]

What We Are Looking For​

To help our project team process feedback efficiently, please focus your review on the following areas:

  • Technical Accuracy: Are the data schemas, logical models, and technical requirements correct and feasible?
  • Policy & Governance Alignment: Does the proposed governance model align with international best practices and UN/CEFACT standards?
  • Clarity & Readability: Are there sections that are ambiguous, contradictory, or difficult to understand?

(Note: We are not currently seeking feedback on the website's visual design, color scheme, or typography).

How to Submit Your Feedback​

We have provided two ways to submit your comments. You do not need a GitLab account or specialized technical knowledge to contribute.

Option 1: The Review Form (Preferred)​

The fastest and most effective way to submit feedback is through our structured web form. This ensures your comments go directly into our project team's triage database.

If you have multiple comments across different pages, please submit a separate form for each distinct issue.

Submit Feedback via Web Form

Option 2: Pre-Formatted Email​

If you prefer to use email, or if you have a large volume of feedback, you can email the project group list.

To ensure your feedback is captured by our tracking system, please use our standard template. Clicking the button below will automatically open your email client with the correct formatting.

Submit Feedback via Email

If the button above does not work with your email client, please email UNCEFACTGlobalTrustRegistry@groups.io with the subject "GTR Public Review Feedback", and include the following details for each comment: the page URL, the issue, your proposed solution, and your rationale.

What Happens Next?​

Once you submit your feedback, it enters our internal triage process:

  1. Review: Our Triage Team reads all submissions to remove duplicates and verify the scope.
  2. Tracking: Valid feedback is converted into standardized "Issues" on our internal UNICC GitLab repository.
  3. Resolution: The project team reviews the issues, drafts the necessary changes to the documentation, and publishes the updates to the site.

Thank you for contributing your time and expertise to the Global Trust Registry project!
