Excerpt:
Q. Who are the stakeholders involved in this program?

A. The primary stakeholders in this program are the Postal Service, Product/Service Providers, and the Customers. Although relationships are more complex with the expanding number of players and new markets, there is really no change to the Postal Service mission associated with this project or current events. As we have historically done with postage meters, the Postal Service specifies requirements, evaluates and authorizes products to print evidence of postage. Commercial companies assume the cost of research and development, and develop products based on market research and an anticipated market for their products. The Postal Service evaluates products to assure postage revenue protection and acts as an honest broker with regard to customer interests.

Q. If these are commercially developed products, what is the role of the Postal Service?

A. The Postal Service specifies the functional and security requirements of the indicia and specific product features as well as the design interface requirements to USPS automated tracking systems that are also a part of the security strategy. Our program approach is characterized by public meetings, public documentation and active participation by industry groups and academia. We develop requirements by publishing proposed draft documents in the Federal Register and requesting public comments. We hold public meetings to review technical issues associated with draft requirements, policies and other documents, and incorporate feedback and public comments as appropriate into a revision. The procedures for product submission and evaluation follow the same Federal Register process as well.
