For what it is worth I am the former IT Policy Officer for the State of
Ohio.  I grappled with these issues for many years.  If you would like any
assistance, maybe I can help.

> OASIS Technical Committee For Electronic Procurement Standardization
>
> I. Statement of Purpose
>
> The purpose of the OASIS Electronic Procurement Standardization (EPS)
> Technical Committee is to guide the coordinated development of global
> e-procurement standards and processes.
>
> EPS TC work will focus on:
>
> * Developing requirements and a comprehensive framework for electronic
> procurement standards,
> * Identifying existing and in-development standards within this framework,
> * Coordinating liaison activity with other groups developing these
> components,
> * Identifying new activities to be pursued.
> * Performing a gap analysis to highlight where major electronic
> procurement standards are required to fulfill market needs and
> prioritize those with the most promising results.
>
> Participants in the EPS TC will gather and analyze requirements for
> electronic procurement standards and processes from user-centric,
> government and industry organizations. A broad selection of technical
> and domain experts from organizations around the world in a series of
> specific technical committees will perform the actual technical work of
> developing e-procurement standards. These additional technical
> committees will be created, as needed.
>
> The input of government and industry on the direction of the EPS TC
> activity is essential to ensure comprehensive, effective, and neutral
> specifications and processes. Broad global representation from a cross
> section of governments and industries will enable the most credible and
> effective representation in the development of EP standards and processes.
>
>
> II. List of Deliverables
>
> The EPS TC will create a robust framework that includes:
>
> * Requirements for Global Electronic Procurement Standards; 2Q 2003
> * Key organizations and standards bodies to liaise with to ensure
> interoperability and rapid development of components within this
> framework; 2Q 2003
> * Key functional components of the procurement process; 3Q 2003
> * Existing and emerging standards and specifications that could serve as
> components of this framework; 3Q 2003
> * Gaps that exist in the framework and a prioritization of which new
> specific EP standards are needed; 3Q 2003
> * Additional activities that may be needed to fulfill the requirements
> of this framework.
>
>
> III. Language
>
> The EPS TC will conduct its business in English.
>
>
> IV. EPS TC Meetings
>
> The first meeting of the EPS TC will be held as a teleconference on 19
> May 2003 at 1:00 pm CT. (Some participants will dial in together from a
> room at the ISM conference in Nashville, TN.)
>
> Thereafter, it is expected that the EPS TC will meet bi-weekly via
> telephone conference and two or three times a year in face-to-face
> meetings. The locations of the face-to-face meetings will be determined
> and announced in advance of each event. The TC proposers expect that
> much of the discussion to take place via email discussion.
>
> The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) will sponsor the first
> meeting. Sponsors for future meetings will be selected from the TC
members.
