<H4><FONT COLOR="#000077">Electronic Commerce Domain Task Force</FONT></H4>
<P>Electronic commerce is a hot area of computing right now. Fueled particularly
by the explosion of the World Wide Web phenomenon, many companies are looking for
ways to sell their products through electronic channels and, just as important, to
protect their copyrighted works and other intellectual property. The Electronic Commerce
Domain Task Force was chartered to address the issues associated with electronic
commerce.</P>
<P>The goals of the Electronic Commerce Domain Task Force are to garner Domain Technology
support and involvement in OMG; to continue reliance on domain experts and issue
RFPs; to seek broad industry and domain response to RFPs (where applicable); and
to work toward outlining the scope of work for the Domain Task Force, including more
specifically defining content management and rights and royalties, electronic payment,
and online retail (electronic commerce).</P>
<P>The Electronic Commerce Domain Task Force has currently issued the following RFPs
and RFIs:

<UL>
	<LI><I>Electronic Payment Facility (EC RFP1)</I>. This RFP solicits Proposals for
	Object Framework that support the implementation of industry-standardized electronic
	payment protocols in an OMA-compliant system and specifications for one or more industries'

	of Interworking mappings and CORBA Telecom Domain Interfaces which enable the development
	of CORBA-based TMN systems that can interwork with non-CORBA-based TMN systems that
	export interfaces based on standard management object models such as OSI Management
	or Internet Management, and standard management protocols such as CMIP or SNMP; and
	the development of CORBA-based TMN systems in compliance with the OSI Management
	Reference Model or Internet Management Model, without using CMIP or SNMP.<BR>
	<BR>
	
	<LI><I>Issues for Intelligent Networking with CORBA (Telecom RFI)</I>.<B> </B>This
	RFI seeks information on five issues: what issues exist for providing interoperability
	between existing systems using the SS7 protocol suite, what issues exist for using
	the SS7 protocol suite as an environment-specific Inter-ORB Protocol for communications
	between CORBA-based implementations, what additional requirements are needed for
	enhancements to the existing set of CORBA specifications, what current or prospective
	standardization activities exist in these areas, and which CORBA objects are needed
	for IN-CORBA systems that encapsulate the functionality for the various IN Functional
	Entities.

<H4><FONT COLOR="#000077">Financial Domain Task Force</FONT></H4>
<P>The mission of the Financial Domain Task Force, or CORBAfinancials, is to promote
the use of financial services and accounting software that incorporate OMG standards;
to provide an internationally recognized forum for industry focus on financial services
and accounting facilities; to identify relevant standards, business architectures,
research, and technologies in this area of computing; to coordinate end-user requirements
in the financial services domain through a liaison with the End-User SIG; to facilitate
advances in the state of the art of OA&amp;D methodologies; to coordinate potential
future specification activities with the Common Facilities Task Force, to involve
all interested members of the OMG in the OMG Financial Domain Task Force; to create
a CORBAfinancials architecture and road map for the financial services industry worldwide;
to issue RFIs, RFPs, and RFCs for CORBA-based technology relevant to the financial
services industry; to evaluate RFI and RFP responses and recommend technology adoption
by the OMG's Domain Technical Committee; and to assist and advise the Liaison Subcommittee
regarding its relationship with related standards organizations and consortia. (That's
quite a mouthful!)</P>
