welcome: kick-off telecon on 25 June 2008

Dear all,

Welcome to the eGovernment Interest Group mailing list at W3C.

Although it's been only a few days since we announced the IG, we  
already have quite a few participants [1] and mailing list  
subscribers. Thanks all for your support and interest. This message is  
mainly intended for Group participants with information on how to get  
the Group started.

We have just opened a Wiki at [2]. If you are a Group participant and  
want to add content there, please request a new account at [3], and  
make us aware once confirmed so we could grant you admin privileges.

Also, for Group participants only.
Kick off teleconference will take place on *25 June 2008, at 13:00  
UTC, 9:00 ET, 15:00 CET*

More information about how to join and other practicalities, etc. is  
available at:

  http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/wiki/Teleconferences

Please, make yourselves familiar with the stuff there and linked from  
there. That will make the meetings more productive. Don't worry if you  
find it a bit complicated and if you have any doubts, just drop me an  
email.

Agenda should be available a couple days in advance and sent to public-egov-ig@w3.org 
. Please, feel free to suggest agenda items.

I'd appreciate for this first conference if you could confirm  
attendance to book the teleconference bridge accordingly. You can  
reply to this message or add yourself to the Wiki:

I would also like to say that we are planning the first face-to-face  
meeting to take place on 23-24 October 2008, in Mandelieu, France, at  
the W3C Technical Plenary Week [4].

That's about it for now. We are eager to start and talk to you.

Best Regards,
Kevin and Jose.
