Information Technology generation as they have in the physical world. Particularly, to ensure that customers of
any Post are provided a global and interoperable secure service throughout the
world, like what is offered in today’s physical services. This goal demands
that the Posts unify under basic IT standards for electronic services, .POST
being one, equal to what they have always done to secure interoperability of
physical services.
