**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the implementation and application of the Master Standard for classifying jobs and occupations in an international organization. It mentions the distribution of work types, implementation rates, and the need for proper training and audits. The discussion also touches on the application of the standard to project posts and the importance of considering job content, supply and demand, and special indemnities.
