- How do current market conditions (problem definition, participant incentives, customer demand, existing initiatives) affect the choices in timing and planning of an IIPS launch?
- To achieve inclusive and interoperable outcomes, what needs to be considered in IIPS design with regards to scheme governance, operations, and economics, and why?
