About the Register
The Official Register of the Velocity Interoperability Network is the authoritative record of the notices, decisions and adopted standards versions of the Velocity Interoperability Network. An entry has effect from the date it is made, and where any other publication differs from the Register, the Register prevails.
The Register is kept by the Registrar on behalf of the Ministry. Entries are numbered in the order in which they are made and are never altered; an error is corrected by a further notice.
