Stephen,
Can you clarify the sentance:
"If you would like to work on projects or any other Australian
projects you are required to be a member of the Open Interchange
Consortium
http://www.oic.org/3d1.htm";
First I've heard of such a requirement and I am working on several
Australian projects.

David - you are right. Only Telecos, Banks and ISPs make money
out of e-Commerce. IT professionals cannot earn a living out of
e-commerce until we change the rules whereby people are paid for
contributing and participating.
This need for this change has been made in a submission to the
Australian Government re the Aus-USA-Free Trade Agreement
http://www.oic.org/z/XZIG/A/cs/ZXAAECS1.htm
The full details of the submissions by the OIC XML & E-commerce
Special Interest Group [XZIG] to the Senate Inquiry on the FTA can
be reviewed on
http://www.oic.org/z/XZIG/A/cs
XZIG is concerned that as the US Government uses ANSI-X12 and
Australia has a treaty obligation to use ISO Standards (EDIFACT)
there is:
1 going to be an enormous invisible ISP translation cost for SMEs
2 time and date conflicts with the many varieties of ISO 8601
3 concerns ebXML has not provided a solution for a simple
company name and address format that can be used by all
applications
This is why in 2002 XZIG members developed an XML Standard
Government Tender template because there are 8 different tender
formats with Australian State Government
http://www.smeems.net/cpr/be/3she/a2eaesp4.htm
This was submitted to ebXML Australia in 2002 but as far as we know it
was not forwarded to the appropriate group for consideration
Government tenders are the first step of the Government e-business
process hence the need for a standard that all Government tenders
use
http://www.oic.org/guest.htm
NEXT STEPS
I would appreciate any feed-back on:
1 is an e-credits system acceptable as part of e-commerce contracts
2 how many US Government States use ANSI-X12
3 any people prepared to work on implementing a standard ebXML
e-tender system as part of the Aus-USA-FTA
If you would like to work on projects or any other Australian
projects you are required to be a member of the Open Interchange
Consortium
