Participation Credits

It is part of the OIC Charter to provide Intellectual Property Credits for participation and contributions to raising awareness and increasing knowledge of Electronic Information Technology [EIT] issues. Please refer to the Members Mandates.

In recognition of Knowledge as an asset, the OIC has developed an Electronic Participation Credits process.

This process, as part of the Electronic Event Registration Management [EERM] system, records the Intellectual Property Asset for the individual, the organisation which employees the individual and the OIC. There are 7 types of Electronic Credits:

Type	Credit
A	Accommodation
E	Entertainment
F	Financial
H	Health
L	Learning
N	Nourishment
T	Travel

The Participation Credits for the XML & E-commerce Special Interest Group are:

	CONTRIBUTION	A	E	F	H	L	N	T
1	Attending	.1	.1	0	.1	.1	.1	.1
2	Preparation	.2	.2	0	.2	.2	.2	.2
3	Presentations	.3	.3	0	.3	.3	.3	.3
4	Submissions	.2	.2	0	.2	.2	.2	.2
5	Feedback	.1	.1	0	.1	.1	.1	.1

In line with many professional bodies, these credits are on a time basis of 1 unit = 3 minutes. Hence the attendance credits for a OIC Work Group meeting from 17:30 - 20:30 would be 180 mins/3 = 60 units. Thus the accreditation for attending each Work Group meeting would be:

	UNITS	A	E	F	H	L	N	T
Individual	60	6	6	0	6	6	6	6
Organisation	60	6	6	0	6	6	6	6
OIC	60	6	6	0	6	6	6	6

The rules and the value of these Electronic Credits are being defined. However it is envisaged that the Credit system will operate as a similar concept to flybuy credits and Internet electronic credits such as beenz.com.au
