Sorry I missed your first teleconference on this so am late into the debate.

Purpose choice one is closest to my view on the role of the SC but I believe we should not only be looking at existing services but also at new e-services.   There is little merit in governments putting their existing paper based systems on-line, they need to thinking differently for e-services and hence I would focus on the future services rather than the existing ones.  

Second point on the Purpose, I think another role for this SC is to identify where technical standards don't fit the bill or don't currently exist and seek to correct that situation.  So the mapping function has three outcomes, either we can identify an existing standard that fits, or one that needs amending, or we need a new one.

Goals choice one must be the one for this SC.  We are a subset of the e-Gov TC which was set up to focus on the needs of the public domain. 

I realise this SC is not easy but in many ways it's the key to success of the TC so we need to get it clear what we doing and what we are going to deliver.   So let's keep talking.

I'm only free on Friday this week for a teleconference.

i did receive some feedback on the charter options proposed for discussion and i would gladly receive any other thoughts via email discussion today or during this week.

i would also like feedback as to what day/time would be best to conduct a teleconference this month....   i think we are making some progress but not at a desired speed... suggestions would be appreciated.... meanwhile during this Washington DC snowstorm i will continue to work on proposed charter text but can only go so far without your continued feedback and ideas.... thanks diane

Colleagues..

EGov services sub-committee charter as of February 10, 2003 follows.

Please review and suggest revisions.  I propose that we conduct a 
telephone conference  on Monday February 17th at 9am eastern standard 
time.  Thanks to one of our members we will be able to complete our task 
through telephone conversation.
agenda for phone conference:
--finalize charter
--decide deliverable formats and procedures for document review
--list sources to be used in developing deliverables

Please let me know if you will be able to participate in the phone 
conference on the 17th.  If most members are unable to participate, I will 
suggest another day and time for the telephone conference. 

I will forward the phone information as soon as we confirm a day/time.

Meanwhile please continue our list dialogue.... Thank you!  diane


Purpose choice one: 
The purpose of the eGov Services subcommittee is to identify and map 
existing government services functions and data with technical standards 
from an integrated service delivery perspective.  The resulting mappings 
will show the information or services integrated according to function or 
topic, in addition to agency jurisdiction.

Purpose choice two:
The purpose of the eGov Services subcommittee is to identify domains of 
governmental activity and their associated vocabulary and transform that 
vocabulary into a data specification that will allow governmental 
organizations to share information within a single, national, jurisdiction 
and where the political will exists, allow national authorities to share 
that same information among nations and states.

Goals:  (what do we want to accomplish?)
>Identify common needs regarding standardization of information objectives 
and data elements within the public domain

>Formulate a common methodology to survey public service forms, documents 
and processes (data needs) and identify corresponding public domain 
standards

>Formulate a common methodology for defining common standards for public 
domain data
>Achieve a minimum level of consensus on priorities in order to coordinate 
work done in many different organizations in order to share knowledge as 
well as achievements (data definitions).

Goals:  choice two:

>identify common needs regarding standardization of information objects 
and data elements

>formulate a common methodology regarding analysis of form, documents and 
processes (data needs)

--formulate a common methodology for defining priorities

> Achieve a minimum level of consensus on priorities in order to 
coordinate work done in many different organizations in order to share 
knowledge as well as achievements (data definitions)


List of Deliverables:  (purpose and content of each identified 
deliverable)

>List of public domain registries  Purpose: facilitate adoption of 
XML-based technologies and standards by Governments  (yellow/white pages 
concept)

>Proposed Specification on public domain semantic consistency where the 
Government to Citizen services in the vertical public domain is consistent 
with the horizontal public domain.   For example: public health - FDA 
<illness prevention>  public health -National Security <anthrax 
vaccination>

> Matrix that maps identified Citizen types or experiences to Government 
Service Channels to Government Functions/Agencies/Implementations for 
example:  Citizen-Voter, Citizen-immigrant, Citizen-Veteran, 
Citizen-TaxPayer, Citizen-Postal Service
