process), common tables, and computer application were presented to SHs during the meeting.
Moreover, the responsibilities of SHs were defined and discussed among SHs and they agreed to
establish the <strong>NISM</strong>-GPA. They require benefits when taking part in the <strong>NISM</strong>-GPA project and
sub-agreements should be approved by institutions or head of institutions with the NFP. In this case,

actions taken to assist the SHs to gather and compile data and information were refined, including
direct individual training for SHs on the use of the computer software.
