Conference Overview Global E-commerce 2002: E-commerce and E-government Operations - in a World at Risk Mike Lackey, President, AIT Global Inc.

We invite you to take advantage of our expert speakers and to bring your questions. You’ ll have ample opportunities to speak and network with them.

Global E-commerce: Opportunities and Challenges Abbie Lundberg, Editor in Chief, CIO Magazine The Internet and E-commerce will enable the developing world to participate in the global economy in three ways: as consumers, as sellers of goods, and as participants in the global workforce. But if developing countries are to participate as more than just the world’s last-line consumers and lowest-cost workers, they must overcome a number of barriers. The most basic of these is the lack of reliable, affordable, widespread telecommunications services. In many areas, even more fundamental support structures must be provided as well – clean water, ample food, education, environmental controls and basic health care. And that’s just the beginning. To move beyond the most basic participation in the global economy, developing countries must wrestle with the difficult issues of how to open their markets to foreign trade and investment while preserving their national integrity. They must stabilize their own financial markets and legal systems. Countries with telecommunications’ monopolies must open these systems to competition. The Internet itself can help jumpstart these nascent efforts by providing access to incredible amounts of information and expert advice on everything from building wells and roads to health care, agriculture and technology. E-learning offers access to the world’s educational resources. Clearly, providing reliable and affordable Internet access is a necessary cost of entry, but it’ s still just a first step.

CIO's Abbie Lundberg, editor-in-chief, Ambassador Percy Mangoaela, and AIT's Mike Lackey co-hosted the information-filled Special Diplomat and CEO Briefing that was a component part of the Global InfoSec 2001 Conference, that took place March 30, 2001.

Notes From the Chairman

E-commerce: A Tool Toward the Attainment of Sustainable Global Development Bob F. Jalang’o, Ambassador/Permanent Representative & Chairman of Working Group on Informatics Kenya Mission to UN, New York. The tragic events of September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington have confirmed the vulnerabilities of our commercial and military installations and facilities. They can be dealt a devastating blow in the twinkling of an eye by suicidal terrorists. These determined people, in fact, utilize modern technologies to plan, coordinate and execute terror and fear. It is abundantly clear that governments have to maximize the use of the same ICT tools to protect and sustain all the E-commerce and government initiatives, and private and public sector ventures from unnecessary disruption. The need for increased contingency planning and management can no longer be taken for granted, even by small organizations, permanent missions, or even our own young and developing governments. What about the chain of devastating events that can be caused by cyber terrorism, that can destroy or corrupt invaluable databases of an organization? Or a simple, but incurable virus that is transmitted via the Internet to multiple websites and e-mails, some of which mutate, multiply or incubate and then attack with subsequent ferocity. We therefore laud the launching of the ICT Task Force last November by the UN Secretary General thereby fulfilling the mandate contained in the ministerial declaration of the high level segment of ECOSOC, and adopted by the Council in July 2000. It is our hope that the Task Force will work closely with all the stakeholders: the public and private sectors, and civil society, and to make specific recommendations for bridging the digital divide with a view to improving global economic and social development. The Global E-commerce 2002 Conference, to take place on 26-27 February 2002 in New York, is therefore timely for policy makers, administrators and managers who will have two days of extensive sessions from executive speakers on: E-commerce, E-government, Security (personal, physical and data); cyber and counter terrorism; Networking; Disaster Planning and Management and many more. I am confident that our development partners will continue to support various ICT initiatives being undertaken to enhance and improve productivity in economic and social sectors in our member states. This conference offers that unique opportunity for exchange of views between experts, users and policy makers.

Cosponsors Carol Lackey, AIT, and Ambassador Bob F. Jalang'o at the conclusion of a recent and informative AIT-UN Ambassadors’ Working Breakfast.
