[Excerpt from Introduction to 18038:] “Electronic commerce, like present-day commerce, has to comply with the requirements of jurisdictions which impact the way in which electronic commerce is carried out. In addition, to jurisdictions which have a physical, i.e. geographic dimension, there are jurisdictions bounded by type of goods or services dimensions. Examples of jurisdictions with a physical dimension are the European Union, NAFTA, California, Punjab, etc.; (2) those with a goods dimension is the Multi-Fibre Textile Agreement (NAFTA); and, (3) those of a services dimension are found in the transportation, banking, environment, etc. sectors” {See ISO/IEC JTC1 N5296}.
