Subject: [OASIS members] OASIS TC Call For Participation: e-Government TC
A new OASIS technical committee is being formed. The OASIS e-Gov Technical Committee (e-Gov TC) has been proposed by the following members of OASIS: John Borras, UK Office of e-Envoy; Jouko Salonen, Republica; Marion Royal, U.S. GSA; Donald W. Upson, WebMethods; and Sinisa Zimek, SAP. The proposal for a new TC meets the requirements of the OASIS TC Process (see http://oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml), and is appended to this message. The proposal, which includes a statement of purpose, list of deliverables, and proposed schedule, will constitute the TC's charter. The TC Process allows these items to be clarified (revised) by the TC members; such clarifications (revisions), as well as submissions of technology for consideration by the TC and the beginning of technical discussions, may occur no sooner than the TC's first meeting. To become a member of this new TC you must 1) be an employee of an OASIS member organization or an Individual member of OASIS; 2) notify the TC chair, John Borras (john.borras@e-envoy.gsi.gov.uk) of your intent to participate at least 15 days prior to the first meeting; and 3) attend the first meeting on 13 December. You should also subscribe to the TC's mail list. Note that membership in OASIS TCs is by individual, and not by organization. You must be eligible for participation at the time you time you notify the chair. The private mail list egov@lists.oasis-open.org is for committee discussions. TC members as well as any other interested OASIS members should subscribe to the list by going to the mail list web page at http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl, or by sending a message to egov-request@lists.oasis-open.org with the word "subscribe" as the body of the message. (Note that subscribing to the mail list does not make you a member of the TC; to become a member you must contact the TC chair and attend the first meeting as described in the preceeding paragraph.) A public comment list egov-comment@lists.oasis-open.org will be available for the public to make comments on the work of this TC; the public may subscribe to this list by going to the mail list web page at http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl, or by sending a message to egov-comment-request@lists.oasis-open.org with the word "subscribe" as the body of the message. The archives of both of these mail lists are visible to the public at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ </karl> ================================================================= Karl F. Best OASIS - Director, Technical Operations +1 978.667.5115 x206 karl.best@oasis-open.org http://www.oasis-open.org 1. Name e-GOV Technical Committee (TC) 2. Statement of Purpose Many, if not all Governments world-wide, are now developing strategies to a) deliver e-government services to citizens and businesses, and b) to support the modernisation of government. A fundamental component of enabling e-government is the adoption and use of XML based and other standards. To ensure these standards are developed with government requirements in mind, the Technical Committee will co-ordinate and present a single voice for Governments. The goals of the TC are: - to provide a forum for Governments internationally to voice their needs and requirements with respect to XML-based standards which can be handed off to relevant OASIS TCs (if they exist) or cause the formation of TCs for needs that are not currently being addressed. - to provide a mechanism for the creation of best practice documents relative to the adoption of OASIS specs/standards within Governments internationally - to promote the adoption of OASIS specs/standards within Governments (include all bi-directional forms: G2G, G2B, G2C), which could include the creation of implementation-oriented pilot projects to involve software vendors and participating government agencies to demonstrate the use of OASIS specs/standards. - to work with other OASIS channels (e.g. XML.org for schema registry and/or information portal), act as a clearinghouse of information related to applicable specs/standards as well as activities and projects being conducted by Governments in the adoption of XML-based systems and standards. Because of the very wide range of topics encompassed by the term “e-GOV” it is expected that several sub-committees of the TC will be formed to address specific issues. 3. List of Deliverables - co-ordinated input from Governments to the development of emerging standards, eg ebMXL, Web Services, to ensure the standards are not just developed for the benefit of the private sector - the identification of new standards required to support e-government and plans for development organised - the channel and process for Governments to press for all relevant bodies to co-ordinate their activities - co-ordinated input from EU countries to deliver aspects of the eEurope 2005 plan. 4. Business Language English 5. Date and Time of First Meeting 10 am - 1 pm Eastern, December 13th, 2002 Baltimore USA, format: face-to-face and teleconference 6. Meeting Schedule for the Year Bi-monthly meetings, mainly teleconference or VTC but a minimum of 2 face-to-face meetings 7. Names and address of proposers John Borras, UK Office of e-Envoy, john.borras@e-envoy.gsi.gov.uk Jouko Salonen, Republica, jouko.salonen@republica.fi Marion Royal, U.S. GSA, marion.royal@gsa.gov Donald W. Upson, webMethods, don.upson@webmethods.com Sinisa Zimek, SAP, sinisa.zimek@sap.com 8. Name of TC Chairman John Borras 9. Names of Meeting Sponsors OASIS will arrange for facilities for the first meeting at the XML 2002 conference, and the telephone will be sponsored by UK Office of e-Envoy. Later meetings will be hosted by the various TC members.
