1. Suggestions for Next Steps
More detail on what the network will do
Agree on “guiding principles” to help create a shared understanding among members as to what the network is trying to achieve and their role and responsibility as members
Define success criteria & set some bold objectives in areas where we want to achieve improved outcomes

2. Possible roles/ priority areas of attention for the network
Organise conferences of training experts to facilitate communication and collaboration
Provide a portal to quality information and resources provided by network members (courses, resources, member details, tools)
Set standards for training materials and put a “quality stamp” on training resources so they can be used with confidence
Facilitate establishment of shared e-learning infrastructure
Support coordination of regional components of international training initiatives

3. Guiding Principles
..help create a shared understanding among members as to what the network is trying to achieve and their role and responsibility as members

4. Possible Guiding Principles
All members agree that by collaborating, sharing and communicating we will increase statistical training capacity, quality and effectiveness
Membership of the network will be open to all agencies engaged in statistical training (providers and users) which agree to the principles of the network
Network Members should, according to their capacity, actively contribute to a shared stock of training resources. They will publish (in standard formats) timely information about courses, and shareable resources
Training resources which bear the “network brand” must be good quality (fit for use, compliant with standards) and able to be used with confidence by all users.

5. Possible Guiding Principles (cont.)
Access to statistical training opportunities and resources should be transparent and equitable
Free and frank feedback and exchange of information about quality of courses and resources should be encouraged
The standards, processes, membership of the network should be visible
Something about Fit with other networks
Something about a focus on serving the needs of countries with developing statistical training capacity

6. Possible bold objectives
Create a library of shared , quality assured, resources covering 10 popular course titles and have them widely used in more than 10 countries within 3 years
Establish e-learning infrastructure which is actively used by more than 10 countries in 3 years
