TESTING of new BCH platform - First Phase

As you know, the BCH is currently undergoing a major overhaul – migration to a new platform. The chronogram, which explains the background and context for the migration of the BCH to a new platform and also outlines the timeline for the migration and follow-up processes, is available on the Home page of the BCH.

The Secretariat is planning to perform the testing of the development (test) site of the new BCH platform in phases. The purpose of this section of the forum is to invite you to the first phase of testing and encourage you to use this forum to exchange your comments, ideas about the new BCH website with each other and the Secretariat.

Please see more details inside the first "Welcome" message.
