RE: [egov] OASIS e-GOV TC MEETING 12 MARCH; Agenda Item

["John Weiler, Executive Director" <john@ichnet.org>]

John,

 

Eugene Jung and I will be attending the meeting on March 12, and would like to suggest one agenda item.

 

Could you provide a few minutes so we can discuss the April 1-2 SecurE-Biz program OASIS is co-sponsoring.   With over 600 delegates representing the IT leadership from government, standards groups and industry, we have a great opportunity to gain consensus on a number of key issues facing our SIG. 

 

The Industry Advisory Council, in support of the Federal CIO Council, has stood up a new Emerging Technologies/Web Services Sub-Committee (under the Enterprise Architecture SIG) and thought that it would be worthwhile having representatives from both groups assemble a set of work shops to map e-Gov needs to emerging web standards. Also joining this collaborative CxO Summit are WS-I, ANSI, OMG, and CommerceNet.    

 

If you cannot make it yourself, but I am sure other members of the TC can represent the e-Gov.  Details of the program have just been updated at www.SecurE-Biz.net.  Discounts are available to all OASIS members.
