ZIG/ZAG: UNB - European Commission [EC] "Blockchains for Social Good [BSG]" Challenge - DRAFT MINUTES W 13 MAR 2019 FOR MTG B2 T 12 MAR 2019 Date: Tue 12 Mar 2019 Time:17:30 - 18:30 Venue: Balgowlah RSL Contact: Stephen GOULD 30 Ethel Street SAN Projects Co-ordinator BALGOWLAH 2092 M:{61}(4)1600-9468 INVITEES & ATTENDEES Peter AXTENS [PMA] Chr Y Janece WILLS [JPW] E Gloria OMODEI [GMO] Y Carline DUFFY [CJD] Y Jan NEILSEN [JNN] Y Nick RIDDELL [NHR] E Tim CHENKO [TMC] E Stephen GOULD [SGG] Sec Y Kathy REID [KCR] E Any On-line Contacts AGENDA A 17:30-18:00 - Confirm 2nd quantum 09.45-10:30 On-line Training Program B 18:00-18:15 - Review Overseas Cryptocurrency Research C 18:10-18:25 - Update on "Blockchain" initiatives D 18:25-18:30 - Any other business - OIC web hosting by Network Solutions W Action Items Z Next Meeting Tue 26 Mar 2019 17:30 - 18:30 A 17:30-18:00 - CONFIRM 2ND QUANTUM 09.45-10:30 ON-LINE TRAINING PROGRAM PMA summarised the conversations with members that had taken place the once Notice of Agenda had been distributed on Tue 05 Mar 2019 1 It appears that there has been a dramatic shift since 2004 in that CIT and other legal Organisations that were supposed to safeguard the Public were in fact undermining the Public safeguards eg Standards Australia and the Australian Information Industry Association [AIIA] with the Simple and Complex Address in the same standard AS-4590 2 CIT Committees nominated to resolve Standards issues end up issuing multiple standards that confuse the technical issues further eg the NEHTA CIT Advisory Committee which published multiple different acceptable CIT Standards in 2008 and OASIS Committees which have issued 51 different Standards 3 It is strange that in 1996 the American Government Bureaucrats created Regulations that embedded the US ANSI-X12 EDI Standard in the HIPAA Legislation even though the UN/EDIFACT Standard was released in Apr 1987 "Edward, just one small nit to pick with your comments below regarding the U.S. Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). While you are correct in saying that the actual legislation itself does not adopt or mandate the use of a particular technology, unfortunately, the enabling regulation - The HIPAA Electronic Transaction Final Rule - does". Yet Australian Politicians and Bureaucrats appear to have done nothing to protect Australian businesses or Consumers from rapacious overseas CIT organisations A major part of the EC-BSG project will be to assist potential Project Partners to understand the key project issues hence the EC-BSG Committee is preparing an "On-line Introduction to understanding eCommerce, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency issues" The 2nd Quantum covers the following topics: a XML [Extensible Mark-up Language] b ebXML Australia c OASIS [Organisation for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards] a XML [EXTENSIBLE MARK-UP LANGUAGE] In Jun 1987 the Federal Government commissioned the US based "Yankee Group" to research and report on the progress in Australia of Electronic Data Interchange [EDI] EDI was being promoted as the methodology for Business-to-Business [B2B] communications of documents like Purchase Orders, Delivery Notes and Invoices In Sep 1987 the Yankee Group report included a section on the RUBAC™ [Rational Universal Business Automation Code] Electronic Information Communication and Filing System which concluded that RUBAC was "way beyond EDI" In December 1987 Gordon MARKWART the Technical Executive Officer of the Australian Telecommunications User Group [ATUG] attended a presentation of the RUBAC™ Electronic Information Communication and Filing System Gordon was so impressed with the methodology that he wrote this letter to encourage ATUG members to evaluate the RUBAC Electronic Information Interchange [EII] process and included the following statements in his letter "The RUBAC system does appear to offer significant advantages to organisations by integrating the filing and retrieval system with document creation, transmission and recovery The technique of only transmitting variable information in an 8-bit ASCII character string also offers advantages in that transmission costs are minimised while compatibility with the current computer technology is maximised The RUBAC system should be included for consideration in any assessment of EDI options" In Jan 1988 The Association of Australian Port and Marine Authorities [AAPMA] invited a quotation to implement RUBAC in ports throughout Australia In Feb 1988 RUBAC was presented to the attendees of Compat'88 in the Hague Holland and more than 15 letters of supports for the methodology were received including one from Alain BELLEGO the Chief of Trade Facilitation and Standardisation UN/ECE and one from John HAMMOND Chief Executive of Maritime Cargo Processing [MCP] a leading port community systems specialist The Letter from Alain BELLEGO UN/ECE emphasised the need to understand Standards developed for Business-to-Business [B2B] communications and Trade Facilitation The Letter from John HAMMOND included statements that demonstrated he appreciated how RUBAC was so different from current EDI techniques Statements in his letter include: 1 The concept for an electronic communication and filing system addresses the major problem of information retrieval 2 We would be very interested in working with you to produce a standardised coding system that will reduce significantly, the costs of the currently recognised means of international data transmission 3 It will be beneficial to those attending IPIS FCP80 to hear from the Network Providers as to how RUBAC will reduce their costs whilst conforming to the EDIFACT syntax standards In 1990 the British Standards Institute [BSI] also an attendee at Compat'88 and EDI'88 in London initiated a Joint-Venture report to evaluate how the RUBAC Electronic Information Interchange [EII] methodology could be implemented to reduce the 1,000,000 sheets of committee papers that were produced and distributed by the 400+ BSI committees This report also identified how the Attendees and contributors to the Committees could be recognised automatically in the minutes In 1994 a number of organisations with an interest in EDI and the new Internet including the Commonwealth Bank [CBA], the Australian Industry Development Corporation [AIDC], an ISP Ourworld Global Network [OGN] and Optus formed the Open Interchange Consortium [OIC] Following the lead up to the OIC AGM on 23 Jul 1997 Foundation members met for a "Vision Day" hosted by Decision Support Centre Australia [DSCA] to use DSCA Groupware system to finalise the Mission, Objectives and Structure of the OIC for its members The outcome of this Vision Day led to the development of a number of XML Internet On-line Applications using the RUBAC EII Methodology for OIC members including 1 1997 Electronic Association Information Management [EAIM] for electronic member, event and committee information 2 1998 Y2K Resource Asset Management Program [RAMP] - to enable members to show trading partners that the member had conducted and remediated Y2K issues In Jun 1999 this On-line XML Application won 1st Prize presented by the King of Sweden in the "IT for SME" Category of the prestigious Global Bangemann Challenge 3 In 1999 the Tender Information Management Service [TIMS] was developed to provide OIC members with a standard On-line access format for Australian and New Zealand Federal, State and Local Government tenders analysed over 9 Industry Groups and 11 Application areas In 2000 Sun Microsystems joined the OIC to sponsor the OIC XML Special Interest Group [XZIG] for 2000 In 2001 the Australian Federal Government Department of Employment, Workplace Relations and Small Business [DEWRSB] joined the OIC to commission "a survey which addresses the relevance of XML in the adoption of On Line Service Delivery by Local Government Agencies in NSW" There were 3 survey phases for this contract which required a response for the 2nd phase from 50% of the 173 NSW Councils surveyed The contract was completed within time and budget and the survey results provided On-line using The RUBAC XML EII Methodology b EBXML AUSTRALIA Standards Australia has since 1987 hosted committees particularly the EDI IS/11 which comprised of members who represented different Australian Associations that wanted their members to enable businesses to communicate electronically On 09 Dec 1988 Standards Australia published the 10 members Committee IS/11/2 - EDIFACT On 12 Jan 1989 Standards Australia published the 35 organisations invited to join IS/11 On 12 Feb 1989 a list of possible vested interests of the Committee Members IS/11 was prepared By 2000, EDI and B2B installation were very limited in Australia hence XML was being promoted extensively as the methodology to enable Business-to-Business [B2B] and Business-to-Government [B2G] electronic communications This led to the formation of ebXML Australia on 14 Apr 2000 with 20 members including Tim MCGRATH of TEDIS in Fremantle, 2 members of Cable & Wireless Optus, 3 members of Australian Customs and several members of Tradegate ECA There was a published schedule of 13 quarterly meetings from 14 Apr 2000 - 25 Oct 2002 At the 8th meeting on 26 Oct 2001 Mark BEZZINA the newly appointed Director Communication, IT and eCommerce Standards Australia joined ebXML Australia At that 8th meeting it was agreed to establish a sub-committee called "ebXML Australia Marketing Strategy Work Group" [EBA-MSWG] to "promote, raise awareness and educate the significance of ebXML to Government and other bodies" with Mark BEZZINA as the chair The first meeting of EBA-MSWG was on 05 Feb 2002 to propose recommendations at the next ebXML Australia meeting on 22 Feb 2002 There were 8 attendees at the 1st meeting of EBA MSWG by telephone conference from 3 locations (Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle) at 14:00 Tue 05 Feb 2002 The draft minutes were prepared and emailed by the Secretary to the Chair by 17:00 Thu 07 Feb 2002 Mark BEZZINA as the Chair reviewed and amended the draft minutes by Mon 11 Feb 2002 However when the amended minuted were placed On-line and distributed to ebXML Australia members the next meeting scheduled for 22 Feb 2002 was cancelled along with all further meetings of ebXML Australia c OASIS [Organisation for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards] The Organisation for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards [OASIS] was founded under the name "SGML Open" in 1993. It began as a consortium of vendors and users devoted to developing guidelines for interoperability among products that support the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). The consortium changed its name to "OASIS" (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) in 1998 to reflect an expanded scope of technical work. OASIS is a non-profit consortium that drives the development, convergence and adoption of open standards for the global information society. OASIS promotes industry consensus and produces worldwide standards for security, Internet of Things, cloud computing, energy, content technologies, emergency management, and other areas. OASIS open standards offer the potential to lower cost, stimulate innovation, grow global markets, and protect the right of free choice of technology. OASIS members broadly represent the marketplace of public and private sector technology leaders, users and influencers. The consortium has more than 5,000 participants representing over 600 organizations and individual members in more than 65 countries There are, as at 05 Mar 2019, 60 Active Committees and 119 Completed Committee Also, as at 05 Mar 2019, there are 51 OASIS Standards IBM and Cryptsoft are listed as "Foundational Sponsors" OASIS now provides a number of OASIS Conferences in different countries each month In Oct 2006 at the OASIS Annual Conference in Sydney the OIC gave a presentation "XML in the Government Tender Process" based on the 18,000 different Government tenders listed on the OIC Tender Information Management System [TIMS] since Jul 2000 The paper explained how the Australian "Name and Address Standard AS4590" and the UN/EDIFACT standard both had a simple address format as well as a complex address format acceptable in using XML and why Legislation similar to the US Legislation was required to prevent CIT organisations profiting from this issue of checking each communication to see which address format was used Fortunately at that OASIS Conference there were a number of Public-minded attendees and exhibitors that agreed prior to Christmas 2006 that the Complex Address format must be used at all times However, as far as we know, this issue of the "Simple" and "Complex" address in both the Australian "Name & Address" Standard AS4590 as well as the UN/EDIFACT ISO 9375 Standard has not been taken up by the OASIS Management B 18:00-18:15 - REVIEW OVERSEAS CRYPTOCURRENCY RESEARCH The Meeting reviewed these "Cryptocurrency" articles a 2019/03/03 Bitcoin payments disabled for 27 million gamers due to KYC bureaucracy b 2019/03/04 Cryptocurrencies Bloody Monday as many bleed extensively c 2019/03/05 Cryptocurrency Exchange Owner dies - Regulation needed - passwords with him c 2019/03/05 Cryptocurrency Exchange Owner dies - Regulation needed - passwords with him The full article can be reviewed here b 2019/03/04 Cryptocurrencies Bloody Monday as many bleed extensively The full article can be reviewed here a 2019/03/03 Bitcoin payments disabled for 27 million gamers due to KYC bureaucracy The full article can be reviewed here C 18:10-18:25 - UPDATE ON "BLOCKCHAIN" INITIATIVES The Meeting reviewed these "Blockchain" articles a 2019/02/19 EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum workshop b 2019/03/05 ISACA Blockchain Initiatives and Realistic Implementation c 2019/03/05 The Asian Banker: Directory of Blockchain Initiatives a 2019/02/19 EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum workshop The full article can be reviewed here b 2019/03/05 ISACA Blockchain Initiatives and Realistic Implementation The full article can be reviewed here c 2019/03/05 The Asian Banker: Directory of Blockchain Initiatives The full article can be reviewed here D 18:25-18:30 - ANY OTHER BUSINESS SGG reported that "Network Solutions" who were the OIC Internet Service Provider [ISP] that said the OIC web-site renewal was due on 17 Mar 2019 had been informed that the our records showed that the Web hosting renewal was due on 20 Dec 2020 An email with the evidence had been forwarded to Network Solutions with a cc to ICANN (the acronym for Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which is a non- profit organization that is in charge of maintaining and coordinating the Internet, namely the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and the Domain Name System (DNS).
