Mr. Ed Blinder (UN) informed the meeting that all CEB organizations are now connected to the Extranet and urged all network members to leverage this platform for additional value adding services. It was suggested that the needs of the Network may present an opportunity for introducing collaborative portals, focused on the needs of Working Groups during the development of Business Cases.
Mr. Blinder reminded the meeting that in 2002 the UN Secretariat signed a contract with Google for an appliance to crawl UN System web sites. Several problems that since developed were highlighted, including the technical limitations of the application, the support received from the vendor and the recent increase in costs. However, Google recently indicated that in the second quarter of 2005 a new product would be released to address some of these problems. The Network will be updated on progress made in this area.
