The first phase of the project concentrated on refining top-level navigation and messaging. Key changes include better navigation, with clearer paths to information and e-services: tools and resources are grouped according to the lifecycle of a mark (search, file, monitor, manage) as well as new and revised pages, such as benefits, how the System works, FAQs and What Users Say.
