EVIDENCE FOR DANIEL PETRE FOUNDER/PARTNER

VOLUNTEER CRYPTOCURRENCY PROJECT TO ASSIST

Dear Daniel
WOULD AIRTREE SUPPORT CRYPTOCURRENCY PROJECT FOR REFUGEES ?
I listened with interest to your comments on the ABC Cassie McCULLAGH programme
Mon 30 Jul 2018 about the reluctance of the Public to embrace the "My Health Record"
with its benefits of "Big Data" to accelerate Medical Research
As we both worked for Burroughs Computers in the 1980s, I thought it may be helpful to
share with you some of the experiences of the EHTSC eHealth Special Interest Group
[HZIG] since 2011 and how your company AirTree Ventures may be to assist resolve the
issues that have delayed the acceptance of the "My Health Record"
You may recall from 1982 during your time at Burroughs, that Graham MURPHY brought me
to Australia as the Director of Office Automation for Burroughs Australia from the UK
where I was the National Marketing Manager New Technologies
While your career led to your involvement with Microsoft Australia as the Managing
Director in 1988 up to Vice-President level in the USA, my career moved more to
understanding Electronic Data Interchange [EDI] and UN eCommerce Standards as a
result of research into the automated filing and indexing of email communications
From 1987-1989 I represented the Australian Small Business Association [ASBA] on the
Standards Australia EDI Committee IS/11 which comprised members of different Australian
business Associations
In 1988 a group of different Association Representatives led by Arthur Andersen Melbourne
convinced Standards Australia to adopt the American ANSI-X12 Standard for 2 years and
not the United Nations EDIFACT ISO 9735 Standard which was released in 1987
It transpires that many of those Association representatives were IBM employees and
that may have been influenced by the fact that Sir Evelyn de Rothschild was a Director
of IBM UK from 1972-1995 whilst he was also a Director of DeBeers (More about this
later with the development of "Blockchain" for the Diamond Industry)
In 2003 Standards Australia {Att A} received a Au$ 200,000 ITOL Grant for an Australian
Business Consortium which comprised overseas computer organisations including IBM,
Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, SAP, Software AG as well as TEDIS and Red Wahoo to
develop an invoicing system called "BizDex" for the Australian Wheat Board [AWB]
Steve CAPEL of Red Wahoo is credited by Standards Australia as the author of the
Australian "Name & Address Standards AS4590" which was used in the BizDex
Application {Att B}
After the AWB Iraq Oil-for-Food Scandal "BizDex" was rebadged as "GovDex"
In 2006 it was revealed at the OASIS Conference "XML in the Government Tender
Process" that both the Australian EDI Standard AS4590 had both a "simple" and a
"complex" address format acceptable in the same standard
As there are two (2) acceptable address formats in the Standard this results in someone
in the computer industry converting the simple address format into the complex address
format for storage and searching in a Data Base
It transpired that UN/EDIFACT standard had the same problem thus attendees at OASIS
2006 Conference conferred electronically to agree that the Complex Address version of
both the AS4590 Standard and ISO 9735 (EDIFACT) should be used at all times
Currently GovDex is used in many NSW Heath Departments eg 07 Aug 2018
In 2012 it was also discovered that the Australian "National eHealth Transition Authority
[NeHTA]" CIT Advisory Committee had approved 9 different CIT standards for eHealth
Applications with all owned privately apart from the UN/ EDIFACT Standard{Att C}
This may be one of the reasons that a large portion of the Australian Health Budget is
spent converting Patient Health information from one data format to another data format
for the "My Health Record" rather than providing improved Health services
In 1995 IBM purchased Lotus Notes - Lotus Notes was a Groupware and Email system
that automatically updated distributed databases
Lotus Notes was a very resource hungry computer system that was used by many large
Legal and Accounting firms
In 2014 IBM developed "Blockchain" for the Diamond Industry
Some people believe that Lotus Notes and "Blockchain" are very similar
Indeed like Lotus Notes, "Blockchain" applications appear to consume a considerable
amount of electricity which is of concern as the motor industry moves to electric vehicles
and electricity costs have escalated since the deregulation of the power industries
NEXT STEPS
Would AirTree Ventures be prepared to Invest/Sponsor an On-line Volunteer Cryptocurrency
Project with UNHCR-Zambia to assist Refugees to generate electricity in their homes at
resettlement areas?
Yours sincerely
