Consultative Committee set for a second term
Charles Prescott, Chairman of the Direct Marketing Association in the United States, has been re-elected as head of the UPU’s Consultative Committee. Murray Buchanan, International Development Director with Royal Mail, will assume the vice-chairmanship. This committee, which was created at the 2004 Bucharest Congress, is mandated to represent the interests of the postal sector in the wider sense, and to act as a framework for effective dialogue between postal sector partners.
The CC is made up of 19 non-governmental organizations representing customers, delivery service providers, organizations of workers, suppliers of goods and services to the postal sector, and similar organizations of individuals and companies with an interest in international postal services.
Knowing that they can breathe new life into the organization by representing the point of view of customers/suppliers, the members of the CC wish to play an increasingly important role in areas such as support for postal reform, the environment and sustainable development, the universal postal service and postal security.
They have contributed to the development of the new Nairobi Postal Strategy, and will play an active part in its implementation, along with governments, designated postal operators and the Restricted Unions.
