To that end, AgGateway has established Antitrust Guidelines, which it has provided to each participant in this meeting. While it is your ultimate responsibility to ensure that your actions comply with applicable antitrust laws, your participation in this meeting is affirmation that you will abide by AgGateway's guidelines.

BK-June at MYM had discussion of the evolution of GLN

Industry at time agreed a consistent id is important and is being used by trading partners.   Man-Dist-Retailer still works well.  

NAPDID- used for Growers end eventually converted to GLN/AGIIS.  Companies now have different expectations for how growers should be enumerated.

Multiple Prop Code was introduced, but was a Band Aid.  

Brent - proposing a WG to look at business rules to address challenges.

Brent-Q- What do we want to identify? How do we enumerate?  

Will need to involve other industry segments and involve DOC.

Who wants in? Cindy Russell indicated interest

End goal is to identify what we are identifying.  Not looking to use another ID.
