GSMP Franchise Working Session July 18, 2007

©2005 GS1 2 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Goal To enhance the GSMP Franchise Process and deliver phase 2 documentation To incorporate additional feedback from the MOs in the pilot

©2005 GS1 3 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Agenda 1. Status report from existing Franchises. This will be to provide feedback to the team on what's going on in your area, how the model is working, etc. 2. Voting/Validation model. Complete this model from the discussion in Budapest. 3. Moving from a "compiled" to an "ad hoc" Global Agenda environment. It appeared from the last global agenda call and the feedback from the last survey, that we may be having trouble synchronizing our meeting schedules. This has lead to feedback coming too late with development. A proposal is to work in a more extemporaneous environment. This will be the topic of discussion. 4. Management and Oversight of MO Franchises. This topic will touch on the subject of overseeing administration of the Franchises. As we discussed on the phone, this is a sensitive subject which I believe needs a creative solution. 5. Name Change: As we move ahead, we need to begin thinking about the long term "go to market" name for the Franchise process. 6. Other. If you have any additional topics, feel free to let me know.

©2005 GS1 5 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Status report from existing Franchises, cont Selectivity being used Time Relevance when divided by Business Unit Product is not ready for prime time Are we getting the right questions in a timely manner from the development process? Are we missing other opportunities? Are we focusing on communicating the nature of the problem were solving Is the term global agenda confusing?

Statement Of Business Need Require- ments& Gathering Analysis Business Solution Design Technical Solution Design PilotPosting BRG Sponsored Work Groups Sign Up Draft, Review, and Motion Core eBallot Draft, Review, and Motion Draft, Review, and Motion Draft, Review, and Motion Statement Of Business Need Require- ments& Gathering Analysis Business Solution Design Technical Solution Design PilotPosting GSMP Global BRGs and Work Groups Sign Up Draft, Review, and Motion Post to website Draft, Review, and Motion Core eballot Pilot - update standard MO Franchise Work Groups GSMP MO Franchises This feedback must occur before eballot, during or around TSD motion.

©2005 GS1 7 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum No Vote (Objections) Scenarios Divergence (No Votes) < 5 votes in all MOs; < 33% across all MOs FMs add comments to public review 33% across all MOs FMO comment period; Mandatory 2 nd motion < 33% across all MOs; 5 votes in any single MOs FMO comment period; Optional 2 nd motion Scenario 1 Scenario 2

©2005 GS1 8 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Voting/Validation model Scenario 1: Global divergence Means broad or uniform disagreement w the core across the local communities Over 33% of aggregate of Franchise members say no. Remedy: Require a dialogue session with the BRG or work group…MO reps would communicate the rationale for non-acceptance Require a second eballot or motion

©2005 GS1 9 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Voting/Validation model, cont Scenario 2: Local divergence Overall, less than 33% of Franchise members say no But one or more MO communities disagreeing with the core (No>33% at local level) Require a session with the BRG or WG for comment by the MO rep No required additional eballot

©2005 GS1 10 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Calculation of NO Same as the core…33% say no, then the formal comment activity occurs Includes a minimum of 5 trading partners Note: Less than 33%, no users can add comments directly or join the core

©2005 GS1 11 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Other points: Notes: This process must align with core during the public review/comment and motion to progress prior to pilot and eballot (need to adjust picture) GA must be distributed prior to or during public review Action: need to analyse time allowance

©2005 GS1 12 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Scenario One Comments Time impact concern (2 weeks too short) Language concern (work needs to be translated) We need to balance speed against consensus Time Problem: Cycle time for a review Frequency of the global agenda

©2005 GS1 13 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Notes On Common Global Agenda Issuance and Usage Need to move forward in separating truly simple from those now called simple but their not 30 day review Formal Franchise outreach at the end of the BRAD Review current BRAD design for business worthy language of key requirements Fix dates for GA calls in advance (12 months), including feedback dates

©2005 GS1 14 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Purpose of Feedback To understand if the requirements are complete Are the requirements complete? To know if the world considers the solution effective Is the solution valid, correct and complete? Technically sound Address the need To know if the world will migrate to the new standard Will you implement the solution and when?

©2005 GS1 15 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Improving Requirements Gathering Feedback Need to communicate the problem and the requirements clearly Are the requirements complete? Add Business Function/Purpose information from the CR to the GA Ensure the problem is stated in business terms

©2005 GS1 16 GSMP: The Global Collaborative Forum Management and Oversight of MO Franchises Issue Is the local MO prepared to administer a Franchise? Do they have an engaged community? Do they know the resource requirements and are they prepared to devote the resources? Are they aware of the intent of the program? Do they agree to the required norms?
