8. Development of permanent DIAL facilities

The DIAL facilities produced as part of this feasibility study were only intended to be, and are, a prototype to demonstrate the types of facilities which could be developed. As explained in Chapter 1, the terms of reference require this Report to make recommendations on the appropriate role for the Bank and other parties to play in the long-term development of facilities such as DIAL.

In previous Chapters, recommendations have been made that development of a permanent DIAL facility should proceed based on the interaction between DIAL Index and DIAL Search that has been demonstrated by the DIAL prototype. Recommendations have also been made concerning the need for training of key DMC users, and concerning the DIALogue facility. The cost estimates in this Chapter are based on the implementation of those recommendations.
