Subject: Initial 2011 Meeting of the W3C eGovernment Interest Group

 

Welcome!

        

You have expressed interest in the W3C eGov Interest Group. We are
restarting meetings for this group this month, and welcome your
participation.  The group is open to all those interested in the advocacy,
adoption, and standards of eGovernment.  

 

The mission of the   <http://www.w3.org/egov/IG/> eGovernment Interest Group
is to build and strengthen the community of people who use or promote the
use of W3C technologies to improve Government. As a part of the
<http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/> eGovernment Activity, the group will identify
and discuss essential areas of technology and related policy issues. Such
discussions will occur, amongst other places, on its mailing list, in
teleconference seminars, and at face-to-face gatherings. On topics with
sufficient interest and motivated participants, the group will form task
forces to produce documents and otherwise reach out to relevant communities.
