The timeline of the start-up project is set tight in view of the current
visibility of the project and the deadline set by the ICMJE.
The aim is to
achieve consensus on minimum standards and implement the technical system within
2005 and a sustainable system in place by 2006.
Specifically, we are looking
for early availability of three essential elements:
1. Standards for qualifying several major existing registers
2.
A system for unambiguous identification of trials
3. A global search
capability
