• The collapse of the WNS

    From Victor Manta@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 27 19:45:17 2022
    No less than 101,995 postage stamps were registered between 2001 - 2022 by
    the 195 members of the UPU. The total cost of registering and publishing
    them was approximately five million Swiss francs.

    But by consulting the UPU website, we found that in 2021 Algeria registered with the WNS 4 stamps, Slovenia: 6, Ukraine: 3. This is all that was
    registered in the world by the UPU in 2021. NO stamps were registered in
    2022.

    We can only conclude that WNS has stopped updating its database. We cannot imagine that such a complex system, in which an average of 5,000 stamps were registered and published annually between 2002 and 2021 on the WNS site,
    could survive a two-year crash both organizationally and financially. .

    Thus, the 5 million Swiss Francs that have been invested in it by nearly 200 postal administrations around the world have been spent in vain, because the WNS has not achieved the objective for which it was created, that of
    preventing the proliferation of illegal stamps.
