All are members of the Open Interchange Consortium and have agreed to the OIC policies for an ROI on Intellectual property 
Royalties [IPRs] for eCommerce applications

5. Why is funding sought for this project?

1 	The Office of Transport Security was only formed 3 months ago to resolve the Business Rules issues for eCommerce 
	applications involved with Dangerous Cargoes. 
 
2   	At this stage neither the Senior Management of the Ports and DOTARS are  unfamiliar with the technical challenges 
	for implementing eCommerce applications and allocating appropriate budgets and resources

3 	OIC members have been understanding the technical issues involved and developing the electronic infrastructure to
	support this type of project but do not have the financial resources to fund this important project for the ports 

4 	Key consultants like Ben ANSON are only available now as they finish the current project while the information and 
	contacts are still fresh before he moves to the next project
