A Partnership to Take the Strategy Forward
E-Commerce Action Team
E-Commerce: Building the Strategy for New Zealand is the beginning of a process of charting a course in a rapidly changing environment. No strategy can afford to be engraved in stone. It must continue to take account of new developments and demands.
The Government wants to ensure that it forms effective partnerships with the private sector and other communities to take the Strategy forward, revising it as required.
An E-Commerce Action Team will be established to support the implementation of the Strategy. The Team will be drawn broadly, from central and local government, business, the education sector, Maori, and community organisations. It will have a private-sector chair and a secretariat located in the Ministry of Economic Development.
The Action Team will have a key role in identifying targets for e-commerce uptake, and monitoring and measuring their achievement. It will co-ordinate government and private sector efforts to facilitate the uptake of e-commerce, identify a core research programme, and provide advice to government. It will develop strong linkages with industry sector organisations and professional associations.
The Team will report to Government every six months on progress towards implementing the Strategy.
The Action Team will be operative from March 2001. A small establishment group comprising government officials and members of the private sector will report to Government by December 2000 on the recommended membership and terms of reference of the Team.
