I think ideally the eGov effort would be a community group that anyone (w3c member or not) could join. I don't think this group is in a position to be able to identify individuals with integrity or ethics. I also think this group is quite small given it's scope (the Web and government/politics). However I think you're right that more could be done in the area of recruiting people to join the group. The big challenge here is language I think -- is it expected that communication be done in English? Or should language specific lists be created as needed? I don't know if this has come up before. As far as guidelines go, I think the Improving Access to Government through Better Use of the Web [1] still does a pretty good job. But perhaps we need to build upon it? Are there gaps that you think need to be addressed? I agree that there is definitely a need to share case studies better. This area of the Wiki is particularly vacant [2,3]. Maybe collecting already published examples of effective use of the Web by government would be a good way to bootstrap it? It seems like minimally adding the use cases that have come up on telecons would be a good thing to do. //Ed [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/egov-improving/ [2] http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/Main_Page#6._Case_Studies [3] http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/EGov_Procurement
