TO:        Recruitment Consultancies    	cc        Interested Parties

Hi - we have had a number of discussions with recruitment consultants 
over how to encourage Government and Businesses to adopt the appropriate
Online standards for effective Electronic Information Interchange [EII] 
with any other organisation

For transparency and good Governance reasons the Committee has preferred 
to send an email to all Recruitment Agencies rather than just three or 
four that understand the problem.

A        The Problem
B        The proposed Solution after reviewing the Background
C        Long term Remuneration for Recruitment Consultancies
D        Next Steps

A        THE PROBLEM

The key problem is that at the moment only Government and the Financial 
Services Industry are really promoting web development applications

They are paying exceptionally well ($175,000 - $ 200,000) for 12 mth
 contracts.

What happens after that when all the Big players have their web-sites 
set up ?

What fees are there for the Recruitment Agencies ?

The first issue is that smaller players in the Financial Services 
Industry like Credit Unions do not have the resources or funds to
develop the web applications 

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority [APRA] as the Peak Body 
for the Financial Services Industry provides a list of all its members
in the following categories

a        Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions [ADI]
b        General Insurance			
c        Superannuation
d        Life Insurance				
e        Friendly Societies

a        Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions

There are currently 8 sub-categories that include 14 Australian-owned Banks
and 128 Credit Unions.

Many of the Credit Unions are the only ADIs left in an number of Council 
Towns.

The Bendigo Bank is franchising a number of Local community banks as 
traditional banks move further into eTrading Systems.

These community banks often require 100 local businesses to deposit $ 1,000 
each

Hence the OIC/OASIS/Halisa joint-committee members developed the XML 
template for payment by Direct Credit that can be used by any organisation for 
a payment by any ADI

This template also takes into account the proposed new Credit Voucher
system outlined at the Arthur Andersen seminar in 1993 "Inventing the 
Australian Model of Government"

Here is a list of references that form the background to this proposal for
a "new way of Long term Remuneration for Australian Recruitment Agencies"

B        THE PROPOSED SOLUTION 

Background papers for this proposal

Following the resolution of the problems with the Australian and United
Nations Online Standard in 2006, there was a series of emails with the Hon 
Jennifer RANKINE MP Minister for Volunteers South Australia on the "Local 
Information Economy"

The Federal and State Electronic Transactions Acts of 1999/2003 enable 
Local Councils and local ADIs like Credit Unions to become Electronic 
Notaries and local eCredit repositories

We are seeking an ADI who would like to develop an XML Standard system 
that can be licensed to all the smaller ADIs and eCredit Organisations

This organisation will be prepared to develop a web-based application for 
licence to other organisations.

This issue will also be a problem for Peak Bodies and the large Companies 
in other Industries hence the email to all recruitment agencies that may 
have contacts in all other industries including Health, Education and 
Manufacturing 

C        LONG-TERM REMUNERATION FOR RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCIES

The long-term remuneration to the recruitment Consultant and the 
Consultancy would be a fee for each electronic message by the ADI and its 
attendant contacts.

This is based on the prototype was developed to assist local Junior Sports
clubs and each individual team received funding from local businesses

This remuneration could be in the form of the Vouchers proposed at the
1993 Arthur Andersen seminar "Inventing the Australian Model of Government"
and adopted by OIC members at the 1996 AGM.

This Electronic Voucher System was implemented as an Accreditation process 
for participants at the OIC Seminars

D        NEXT STEPS

There may be a number of questions hence the Mosman Sustainability Action 
Network [SAN] Committee has agreed to include this topic as part of the 
monthly meeting at the Mosman RS Club on 17 Nov 2008

Please give me a call if you would like to discuss it further before the 
meeting
