  • The State of the WNS and of UPU Philatelic Circulars - 2017

    From Victor Manta@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 5 12:45:29 2017
    Even if the WADP Numbering System (WNS) and the associated database is a a
    very expensive endeavor, that costs the participating postal administrations millions of Swiss Francs, its large holes make it improper for the identification of illegal stamps, the very reason for which it was initially created.

    The IB - UPU Philatelic Circulars 2003 - 2016, the only identification tool
    for illegal stamps worldwide, aren't accessible anymore on the UPU site
    without a password, what made them unusable for the worldwide stamp collectors.

    The proliferation of illegal stamps continues meanwhile unhindered. Learn
    more about the actual situation from our new page:

    Just go on this web page http://www.wnsstamps.post/en/
    In any way your complaint about accessibility of UPU web portal is partialy justified. I miss access to historical documents of UPU.

    Thanks for commenting.

    I don't understand your proposal. Just FYI, your link points to the WNS and
    not to the UPU IB Philatelic Circulars 2003 - 2016.

    What do you mean by "partially justified", after two different UPU managers commented my demand as justified (see below)?

    Here are some instructions to better understand the problem. Please enter
    the page:

    http://www.upu.int/en/activities/philately/circulars.html

    and then try to access any of the philatelic Circulars listed there. Here is where you will land:

    https://auth.pspac.post/my.policy

    As you can see, you will be asked for a username and a password. It is for
    this very reason that those two different UPU managers confirmed the
    relevance of the problem, as mentioned on the PWO page: http://www.pwmo.org/Illegals/17-WNS-UPU-Circulars.htm . Quotes from their emails:

    "As far as the circulars about illegal products are concerned, I can confirm that they are unfortunately no longer accessible to everyone ..." (Mr.
    Virgile)

    “Indeed, the system has been adapted and your request is relevant. " (Mr. Cuennet)

    That my request was justified is obvious indeed, just that the UPU
    philatelic team hasn't solved the problem for over six months (and counting ...).
