The
National Council on International Trade Development (NCITD) is a nonprofit
organization that has been promoting international trade |
|
| |
documentary
simplification since 1967. It was an early proponent of electronic
documentation, particularly the EDIFACT electronic data interface. |
|
| |
In
its heyday, it ran huge conferences with Fortune 100 participants and
attendees. Then, suddenly, it petered out in 1994 after relocating from |
|
| |
New
York to Washington, DC. It's now revitalized, and provides committees that
deal with government officials on the following topics: |
