[LINK] DCITA ICT advisory committee

[Brenda Aynsley]

Hi all

I see in brendan's OSWALD this week, he mentions the appointment of the 
MD of Microsoft as chair of this advisory committee and says he's 
disturbed by this event.

Can I point out to folks that the media release makes much of steve 
vamos being the MD of Microsoft Australia and NOTHING of his membership 
of the Business Council of Australia.

If you look at "New Concepts in Innovation: The Keys to a Growing 
Australia" http://snipurl.com/vvs0 (the url to the pdf is ridiculously 
long) on the BCA site, it seems at a skim (of 88 pages) to be offering 
something worth a more serious look and I expect that it was because of 
a paper like this that the BCA was invited to participate and perhaps 
even chair that committee.

Sure there's a risk that the deliberations will be skewed in favour of 
the familiar in the office (microsoft) but I hope that this committee is 
operating at a far higher level than the office desktop/server environment.


cheers
brenda
