Vassilios,

If there are Members that are interested in eGov and are not  
participating in the Group, I think first thing is to engage them in  
the *current* work not to fragment it more.

If there are several with enough interest in creating this model, then  
I think the Group could serve as a channel to prepare this. Remember  
that current eGov Activity charter expires on 31 May 2008 and one of  
the things I expect from the Group is to draft the new charter if we  
as a Group decide to continue working on eGov (say v2) at W3C (we'll  
need Membership approval then). Maybe we'd like to include the  
construction of the model then. Too early to say.

Another approach is just to talk to them as you suggest and if you  
find enough interest, maybe charter an XG *asap* to draft  
requirements, so it could converge with eGov v2 at W3C (if that  
happens).

Bottom line: check if you feel like that but let's try to keep both  
things aligned.

Btw, if I put my CTIC hat on to answer, I think CTIC would be  
interested in working towards this (but I'd also need to check)... EC  
funding would be mostly welcome, of course :-)

Best,
-- Jose.
