9-26-95. W$Japer: "On-Line Service to Assist Global Trade." A group of multinational companies is expected to unveil today an on-line service to businesses to engage in international trade. Dubbed IBEX, it is a joint effort of AT&T, Dun & Bradstreet, General Electric and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to let businesses use on-line traffic to line up suppliers, negotiate contracts, make and receive bids, and arrange the delivery of goods and services around the world. IBEX expects the backing of Chase Manhattan, Microsoft, DEC and Simon & Schuster. The IBEX software allows companies to sign on and submit a request for goods or services, which is posted anonymously. The request could be styled using an array of categories offered by the service, including location, product category, payment and shipping terms. The customer would then receive bids from businesses hoping to land the contract. Once a bid is chosen, the identities of the businesses are disclosed and negotiations begin. IBEX allows them to attach documents such as confidentiality agreements, contracts and purchase orders. IBE_dam (5 kb)

You couldn't compromise PGP's security even if you posted the contents of randseed.bin to the net. It's contents are carefully sanitized before it's saved to disk and before it's used. -- Sure we spend a lot of money, but that doesn't mean | Tom Weinstein we *do* anything. -- Washington DC motto | tomw(a)engr.sgi.com

Our company is just in the "joining the consortium" process, especially because we were expecting such an event. However, to be able to catch a flight and spend a couple of days at MIT within less than a fortnight is another matter. I don't yet know if we will able to attend, and we really would hate to be unable to attend and participate. Thus I would urge the Web Consortium to consider postponing this meeting for at least 2 or 4 weeks so that any interested party is able to decently cancel other commitments and get prepared for the meeting. If W3C is really interested in attracting all interested party, it would be fair as I suspect we are not the only ones with Please let me know as soon as if this is possible or if I must as soon as possible try to change my agenda. regards, -- PAP _________________________________________________________________________ PAP: paul-andre.pays(a)gctech.edelWeb.fr tel: +33 1 34 52 00 88 fax: +33 1 34 52 25 26 GC Tech "The Globe Online and Globe ID Technology Company" http://www.globeonline.fr/ http://www.gctech.fr/
