	1-EASYBIZ MISSING EMAILS & ELECTRONIC NOTARY

Trevor - thank you for response on the missing pages in the EasyBiz
Operational Specification.  

There are 3 issues which, our experience with email and eCommerce with 
Electronic Tenders, Electronic Questionnaires and Electronic Event 
Management over the last 5 years, has shown are best handled as 
separate responses:

A	e-Mail, Electronic Commerce Electronic Notary - THIS EMAIL
B	Proof Reading and Index Specifications
C	EasyBiz Data Dictionary

One of the important aspects of the Design of the Architecture of
a System like EasyBiz which could develop into dealing with Council 
Tenders, Council Tourism Plans and Council Recreation Strategies 
is the issue of missing emails and eCommerce Lodgements.

Hence the development of an Architecture which ensures that there
is an Electronic Notary.

The Electronic Notary is an independent organisation that can verify
that person A sent and email/ecommerce message to Person B.

This is an important aspect for EasyBiz as the Hub design requires
an independent 3rd party to confirm the time and date that messages
are forwarded by the EasyBiz Hub to a Council.

The Electronic Notary concept was proposed at the TEDIS Legal 
Workshop at the European Ecommerce Conference in Brussels


NEXT STEPS

If this aspect is to be considered for the EasyBiz Architecture Design
then we have members that would be able to assist you with that design
