5. WORKSHOP DISCUSSION 5.1 Nomination of Official Contact Point The workshop noted that a person should be nominated for the purpose of data entry into the IPP system on behalf of his/her country before the workshop commences. This must be done using the nomination form, duly endorsed by the IPPC Contact Point and trained accordingly. Although it is possible to submit more than one nominee for training, this was not encouraged, as the secretariat has only funding for the training of one person. Obviously, having a larger number of people able to submit data for a given country can lead to confusion when entering official secure information. (It is important to avoid national duplicate entries as well as omissions). Should it be necessary, it is expected that IPP workshop participants will train others in IPP data entry and usage upon returning home.
