Thanks for an interesting discussion yesterday.  It set me thinking about 
what is the ultimate output from the TC, hence I'm copying in the whole 
membership on this note. 

We talked a lot about the need for matrices of services and standards, and 
I believe that is ultimately what we should as a TC be aiming to produce 
and publish - a set of matrices for Services/Functions, Infrastructures 
etc that show for each particular aspect of e-government our recommended 
standards.  This would be invaluable to governments, particularly those 
that are new to the e-government work, and those communities of 
governments like us in the EU who are looking to join up on service 
delivery.  Clearly we cannot mandate these standards but it would send 
clear messages to governments around the world, and their IT suppliers, 
which are the standards they should give serious consideration to. 

On that basis I've sketched out a matrix for your Services focus along the 
lines of what we discussed yesterday, and one for what I'm calling 
Infrastructures.  This is a first cut and we can develop it and add to it 
as we go.  I will be suggesting to the TC on Wednesday that we need 
another Sub-committee to address the infrastructure issues.    The role of 
both these SCs would in effect be to populate these matrices, and that of 
course will require looking at what's the current standard if any , whose 
doing what, where are the gaps that need new work and instigating that 
work, etc as we discussed yesterday.

I see the role of the Best Practices SC to then produce case studies on as 
many of these aspects as possible and they can be cross-referenced in the 
matrices.  The ebXML/Web Services SC would feed into many aspects of the 
matrices both as solutions to services and also aspects of infrastructure.

As I said I'll add this to the agenda for the TC meeting on Wednesday as I 
think it would help us all if we had an agreed vision of the end point of 
our work.   Views in the interim from all would be welcomed.

Apologies that this is only in Word format but I haven't got Open Office 
on my laptop.

Regards,
John
