Heavy hitters to oversee e-trade

Article Abstract:

An Australian government panel, led by the Minister of Financial Services and Regulation Joe Hockey, has been established to monitor electronic commerce and advise on regulatory guidelines. Hockey says a dispute-resolution process designed in concert with the electronic commerce industry would be a big step in developing e-commerce in Australia. Also, a professional code of conduct could work as a form of branding. Worldwide, governments have yet to develop any international standards for electronic commerce.
