Re: what do you mean, e-gov?

Having done a PhD on the area, the one I settled on was in a Canadian
report by Roy (2006, p.x), he further refines ‘e-government’ as “The
continuous innovation in the delivery of services, citizen participation,
and governance through the transformation of external and internal
relationships by the use of information  technology, especially the
Internet”.
