  Ram Menen emails: You hit the nail on the head and thank you for laying it down as it is. It is not up to one person or one association/organization to ring in the changes. It is a collective responsibility for us all. The leadership taken by GACAG is the first step to come together as an industry, and start working towards a common goal.
  In the past, we were all working on a divergent path. GACAG is an attempt to bring a common focus and work towards convergence. As Des said we have a lot of work to do and let us start with one step a time and focus on a handful of issues that we can manage and resolve for the good of the industry.
  GACAG is not a talking shop but an action workshop, which has the key elements of the industry, and once we identify the right competencies within the group we will let experts deal with items within their expertise and bring it to the workshop floor to assemble the right future model for the good of the industry. Of course, establishing a timeline for each activity is key to having the right component, at the right time, at the right place in the building block, to ensure we create a robust establishment. Apart from IATA, FIATA, GSF, WCO and TIACA all have an equal role to play and I am glad they have all come together to create a new start.
  This is a great industry which is critical to world, and mankind as it keeps the wheels of commerce turning.
