A	ITOL Hardcopy Application by Express Post BN0490318 
B	Authorisation by e-mail for 2 letters of support 
C	Status DOTARS and ALCSSG Letters of Support 

A	APPLICATION SENT BY EXPRESS POST BN0490318

I confirm that the ITOL Hardcopy Application has been sent by Express Post BN0490318. 

This submission has been posted to the OIC web-site - EDCM Project

Given the importance of the Dangerous Cargo issue, the submission will be reviewed at the 
next OIC Seminar on 28 Oct 2004 
www.oic.org

A number of our consultants are extremely concerned that Australia could be held to ransom 
by a terrorist group using a ship possibly with a Nuclear bomb.  

Nuclear security in Russia is so slack at the moment it is feasible that a bomb could be 
purchased there. 

Every Australian City apart from Canberra is a Port hence the importance to get EDCM operational 
very quickly 

This document contained 4 letters of support: 

1	Guy BLOMBERG - authorisation by e-mail 
2	Ben ANSON - authorisation by e-mail 
3	OTMG 
4	OIC 

The letters from DOTARS and ALCSSG are still pending - see below

C	STATUS LETTERS FROM DOTARS & ALCSSG 

Around 10:00 Mon 11 Oct 2004 I received a telephone call from Winton BROCKLEBANK to say: 

1	Was the consortium seeking to licence EDCM to other countries - I replied Yes 

2	Andrew TONGUE Assistant Secretary DOTARS had arrived back from holiday and would
	review the invitation to join the consortium 

3	There was a meeting of ALCSSG at 14:00 Tue 12 Oct - would I be attending ?

	I replied that given the very late notice of the ITOL funding application, the Agenda was 
	very full and David WILLIAMS Chair ALCSSG had not had time to discuss the issue with other 
	members of ALCSSG 

We recently discover that the US Department of Transportation [DoT] is seeking a new eCommerce Architecture 
for a proposed Universal Electronic Freight Manifest [UEFM] 


DOTARS and ALCSSG may be meeting to discuss whether to extend the Business Rules develop for EDCM for a 
Universal Dangerous Cargo Manifest 

NEXT STEPS 

Lilian as soon as I hear from DOTARS or ALCSSG I will contact you

Hi Lilian - further to your e-mails please find attached the zip file 
for the application for ITOL funding for $ 65,000 from the OIC 
XML & E-commerce Special Interest Group. 

The application is for Electronic Dangerous Cargo Management 
[EDCM] using XML protocols. 

There are 5 members of the project team: 

1	OTMG Pty Ltd		Confirmed 
2	GMB & Associates 	Confirmed 
3	OIC 			Confirmed 
4	ALGSSC			Only notified today - see below 
5	Ben ANSON		waiting for OTS response - see below			 

As you are aware when I spoke with Peter TAPSALL on Tue 05 
I was concerned that all the Intellectual Property issues had not  
been resolved. 

The original application was put together over the week-end 02 Oct 2004. 

A number of organisations were invited to participate.  However it 
is only today that we have received response from 2 to say they are 
not able to join the consortium 

We have not had time to to change all of the submission 

NEXT STEPS 

I will forward the revised submission when we have received the 
other support document
