ANNA (the Association of National Numbering Agencies) is pleased to share with the members of the global financial community, an overview of the main topics and key decisions that were addressed during the last General Meeting, which was held in London, United Kingdom, on June 14 & 15, 2012. The meeting was hosted by the London Stock Exchange (LSE).
This Meeting was a significant milestone in the history of the Association, since ANNA was celebrating its 20th anniversary. The LSE welcomed ANNA and the NNAs with an official market opening ceremony dedicated to the Association’s 20 years of achievements and successes in supporting the global financial markets. With the addition of two new National Numbering Agencies that joined the Association during the meeting, ANNA now comprises 83 full members and 29 partners, with a presence in excess of 120 countries worldwide.
During the meeting, Mr. Dan Kuhnel, ANNA Chairman, gave an overview of the activities and key areas managed by the Board members since the last General Meeting, held in December 2011 in Jordan.
Two key elements were addressed before moving on to discussing the current status of the LEI – endorsement of a new Mission Statement and a number of revisions to ANNA’s overall strategy.
The ANNA Board members prepared and presented a new ANNA Mission Statement for the Association, which was unanimously endorsed by the ANNA Membership. The new Mission Statement was designed to reflect ANNA’s on-going commitment to providing products and services to Regulators and the global financial services industry – ensuring the National Numbering Agencies continue with their responsibilities to uniquely identify, classify and describe entities and financial instruments.
