The mission of the Electronic Governance Community Group (formerly W3C
e-Government Interest Group) is to build and strengthen the community of
people who actively develop, use or promote the use of W3C technologies
to improve the working of government (Electronic Government) and its
interactions with citizens, businesses, civil society and other arms of
government (Electronic Governance). 


As a part of its activities, the Group will identify and discuss
essential areas of technology, organizational and social change, and
related policy issues. Such areas include but are not limited to: access
and accessibility; cloud computing; data licensing; education and
outreach; government as a platform; interoperability; information
sharing; innovation and innovation transfer; impact, public value and
economic evaluation; knowledge management; mobile government; open
government; privacy, security and sensitive data; standardization versus
adaptation; transparency and accountability; whole-of-government; and
others. The discussions will occur, among other places, on the Group's
mailing list, in teleconference seminars, and at face-to-face
gatherings. On the topics with sufficient interest and motivated
participants, the group will form task forces to produce technical
documents and policy recommendations, reach out to relevant communities,
and even encourage the formation of specialized EGOV-related community
groups.
