He noted that the objective of the TradeNet 2022 Work Plan is to propose a clear, specific, and comprehensive work plan, subject to the approval of the NSW SC. The work plan, as stated by Mr. Maximiano, provides a clear delineation of the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved (NSW SC, NSW TWG, TPMO, DICT, and TRGAs), and shall equip TRGAs with the necessary information for the implementation of the work plan.
