A  17:30-18:00 - IDENTIFY POSSIBLE PROJECTS FOR SUBMISSION TO H2020 CHALLENGE

PMA said there have been 3 submission currently proposed namely:

1	Electronic Committee Information Management [ECIM] 

2	Pedal-Power to generate local electricity [ePPM]

3	Volunteer eCredits for Volunteers workers on UNDP Refugee projects 

1	ELECTRONIC COMMITTEE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT [ECIM] 

The ECIM project was first implemented in the Open Interchange Consortium [OIC] 
as part of the Electronic Association Information Management [EAIM] system 
sponsored by Stephan SMYDZUK representing the Commonwealth Bank, David 
KOHN of the Australian Industrial Development Corporation [AIDC], Tom KOLTAI of 
Our World Global Network [OGN] and Stephen GOULD of Halisa-NSW Partnership  

The project was based on a joint-venture by Halisa Europe and the UK Standards 
Institute [BSI] which had over 450 Committees and produced over 1,000,000 pieces 
of committee papers per annum that had to be distributed by post

ECIM was Electronic Committee Information Management (ECIM) is based on 
research with the OHA Rugby Football Club (OHRFC), South Sydney Council, South 
Sydney Chamber of Commerce (SSCC), the Australian Water Association (AWWA) 
and the British Standards Institution (BSI) 

ECIM was the basis of the Volunteer eCredits system unanimously agreed by OIC 
members at the 1996 AGM to allocate Volunteer eCredits for Committee Participation

The importance of acknowledging project participation was confirmed by the 1991 
Report by the University of Arizona into 4,000 IBM projects

The ECIM Committee Information Management process has been implemented for the 
EC-BSG H2020 Challenge project

2	PEDAL-POWER TO GENERATE LOCAL ELECTRICITY [ePPM]

SGG said with the escalating costs of Electricity there is considerable community 
concern for the on-going costs for local institutions like schools, hospitals, council 
buildings, art galleries, museums and RSLs

It may now be appropriate to review the 2008 ePedal Power project [ePPN] proposed 
by to Mosman Council in 2009 to generate electricity and help reduce obesity in 
schoolchildren was then submitted for a NEIS [New Enterprise Incentive Scheme] 
grant in 2010

It appears that this project that records Volunteer time to generate electricity may 
comply with the EC-BSG Challenge

PMA requested SGG to provide more details at the next meeting

SGG to provide ePPN overview for questions at next meeting 

3	VOLUNTEER ECREDITS FOR REFUGEE CAMPS

GMO proposed that the United Nations Development Program [UNDP] Refugee 
Project [UNA] developed for the Zambia Refugees may be a suitable project as it not 
only assists Refugees to generate an Income but also provides Volunteers who want 
to work on these Refugee Camps with eCredits

These Refugee Camps can also adopt ePedal-Power to generate electricity to pump 
and filter wateras well as light homes to enable mobile phones to be re-charged

PMA requested GMO to provide more details at the next meeting

GMO to provide UNDP Refugee project overview for questions at next meeting

a  2018/07/17 IBM partners Stronghold for new digital stable coin

This issue to be reviewed after Christmas 2018

C  18:10-18:25 - UPDATE ON "BLOCKCHAIN" INITIATIVES

The Meeting reviewed several documents that indicated how much electricity 
"Cryptocurrency Mining" and "Blockchain" required including

SGG to provide regular updates on any articles

D   18:25-18:30 - ANY OTHER BUSINESS

SGG reported that during the process of distributing the email "Councillor - why 
emailed on re-location of Australian Embassy" an email had been received from a 
Councillor that was very abusive and threatening

The issue was discussed and the Chair recommended that the matter should be 
brought to the attention of the State Premier, State Attorney-General and Australian
