Global action plan for electronic commerce
During the Ministerial Conference on electronic commerce held in Ottawa, Canada, from 7 to 9 October 1998, the International Chamber of Commerce presented "A global action plan for business with governments towards electronic commerce". This presents a range of views from organisations such as the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD, the Global Information Infrastructure Commission, the International Telecommunications Users Group, and the World Information Technology and Services Alliance. The overall aim of the conference was to address key issues surrounding the evolution of electronic commerce, and to develop a set of measures to promote it on a global basis in order to realise its full economic and social potential. The action plan is proposed as a reference point for all relevant business and government organisations to contribute to the development of rules for a stable and predictable electronic commerce environment in an efficient and transparent manner.
