Hi Nick - Thank you for an excellent OASIS Conference. 

Further to my call this morning, this email is to invite ALLETTE  
to participate in a proposed eRoadshow to Australian Local Government
Agencies in 2007 to accelerate the adoption of XML Applications.

A proposal was submitted to OASIS OPEN STANDARDS to support this 
Australian Initiative

The issue of the conflict in the two address details for the AS4590 
standard has been pointed out to a number of relevant Federal and State 
Members of Parliament.

There is a need for State legislation to ensure the conflict in eCommerce
Standards is resolved for Local Government Agencies and more important 
Rate-payers like us !

A seminar has been arranged for Thu 30 Nov 16:00 for potential
participants to meet or confirm that they would like to participate
in the proposed eRoadshow for 2007

NEXT STEPS

If this is of interest, please review the proposal to Patrick GANNON
and confirm that interest by Registering for the Seminar.

There is a special OASIS 50% membership fee $ 1,500 which includes
a number of monthly seminars that will be of value to a programme
sponsor

Ths membership fee provides the twice weekly Government eTender 
Service

If you have any questions please email me or call me

I look forward to working with you to accelerate the adoption of XML
to assist Local Government provided effective On-line Services
