Once again we start from the most important -- by asking each and every one of you, our readers and subscribers, to email JIBC to at least 3 of your colleagues, friends and discussion groups that you are participating at, and recommend that they also subscribe!

As well, we are challenging all the current and past authors and editors to email your articles -- along with the rest of JIBC edition -- to at least 10 of your peers and colleagues in academia, government and industry. Make sure they are aware of your articles and the Journal of Internet Banking and Commerce! Recommend that they also subscribe.

This issue is especially professionally mature and conceptually interesting. As usual, we have a number of articles from all over the world. Most of them are providing a highly desirable mix of quantitative analysis and qualitative conclusions. All are highly applicable to the emerging areas of Internet commerce, banking and governance, as well as marketing, law, procurement and security/privacy.

In the future issues of JIBC we would like to maintain the momentum of edgy results that characterizes this publication. At the same time we want to see more of the overviews and surveys on the global situation with Internet commerce and banking. Please send us brief lists and reviews of world-leading ecommerce, egovernance and IP-law academic programs. Send us articles on the activities of academic and applied research groups and on industrial, public and voluntary sectors' innovation teams that you are familiar with or participate at, especially as it relates to ecommerce issues. Feel free to involve any expert on this exciting subject anywhere in the world. Challenge them to write for JIBC.

Both JIBC Publisher and Editor-in-Chief would like to use this occasion to thanks again our authors, our volunteer contributing editors and, especially, Assistant Editor Xin "Robert" Luo who despite his busy educational schedule found time to manage placing of new articles on JIBC Web site, as well as Mailing List Managing Editor Anne-Marie Jennings who for the last 18 months is successfully managing our Yahoo mailing list. Your dedicated effort is much appreciated!

Let's spread the word!
