5.4 Coordination of NPPO websites In general, different NPPO’s have different websites with diverse structures and content. To enable the coordination and integration of this information, the ICPM has decided to accept data entry in two forms. Where the NPPO has no website, then an IPPC-compliant website should be created using the IPP. If the NPPO already has a website, then a link would be established, especially for small databases where further integration would not be cost-efficient. For a sufficiently large database (at least several hundred national records), work could be undertaken to “harvest” this information, provided the NPPO has a firm commitment to maintain that database.
5.5 Flow-chart explaining information exchange and document dissemination under the IPPC The workshop reviewed two flow-charts explaining information exchange. The participants agreed to adopt flow-chart 1, which was developed earlier, with an inclusion of part (F) from flow-chart 2.
