Mission

The National Electronic Commerce Coordinating Council is an alliance of national state government organizations dedicated to the advancement of electronic commerce within states. The alliance is comprised of the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT), the National Association of State Information Resource Executives (NASIRE), the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO), and the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS).

The NECCC board of directors expects to pursue strategies to advance electronic commerce within the states in 2001 that include:

• facilitating the coordination of electronic commerce adoption in the states through various means, such as participation in pilot projects and the dissemination of best practices in state electronic commerce,
• holding its 5th Annual Conference on Electronic Commerce in the States in Las Vegas on December 10-12, 2001 to study innovations in technology and review successful electronic commerce projects, and
• maintaining and expanding its web site (ec3.org) for promotion and the distribution of association materials.

In addition, the following four issues-related work groups have been formed:

• Citizen Confidence, Trust and Voting
• Electronic Procurement
• Project-Based Electronic Government and Electronic Government Best Practices
• Research and Development

The four workgroups, populated by a diverse group of public and private individuals, will pursue a variety of strategies to:

• Research their topics to identify promising applications and best practices for publication on the association’s Web site,
• Collaborate on pilot projects, and
• Prepare presentations on best practices for the annual conference and various meeting throughout the year.
