Diane

You're doing a grand job so far, keep it up!!  I know how hard this all 
is.

I can make a teleconference next Friday but only after 16.30 pm this end - 
11.30 am your time I think.  So count me in for it if it can be at that 
time but please don't keep me here all night.

I can't make an all day meeting on 11/3, but could get a flight that lands 
around lunch-time, so an afternoon session would be OK by me.  I am 
planning to have rooms avail;able for SC meetings on the afternoon of 12th 
on the assumption that the SCs could meet after the TC meeting to review 
the outcome for the main meeting.   May be you want to do both, a pre and 
post TC meeting?

I haven't specifically responded to your proposed course of action because 
as I've already said to you I'm beginning to get concerned about the scope 
of this SC.   It seems to being growing alarmingly from my original 
concept as people keep dumping all the issues into it.  I think we need to 
have an up front think about the scope and options for handling the wide 
agenda.  Perhaps we need to propose back to the TC an alternative 
structure.  May be that's the focus of next weeks teleconference?

Have  a good weekend,
John

eGov-services sub-committee members 
Thanks for your participation. 

As a starting point i propose that we conduct our first teleconference 
next Friday to get acquainted and to collect your input and insights on 
what should be the content of the e-gov services sub-committee's charter.

Secondly, I propose that we hold a face-to-face sub-committee meeting at 
my Washington, DC office all day Tuesday, March 11th prior to the 
Washington, DC eGov TC meeting scheduled.

Our primary deliverable to the greater eGov TC is our charter and a plan 
to reach the objectives we identify.  As was recommended we need to also 
identify a set of work products that are doable in a  short time that will 
benefit the eGov TC and other sub-committees.

I have not yet received feedback from Service sub-committee members on my 
proposed course of action as described in an email message sent earlier 
using the eGOV TC list address. I will send out an agenda for the 
teleconference call and include some talking points from this message as a 
starting point for us to come together as a forum and define a common 
purpose for this eGov TC initiative. 

If you wish to actively participate in egov-services sub-committee, please 
send a response to this message.    I will send out a teleconference 
agenda and dial-in information along with confirmation of teleconference 
date/time  as soon as i arrange the call with OASIS staff. 

 please be patient with me i am learning the administrative side of this 
position.   i am looking forward to hearing your voices and reading your 
thoughts in the coming days/weeks leading up to March 11-12th meeting 
dates.   more to come!  diane
