services

open standards

questions

> including webinars, discussion platforms and seminars or workshops, possibly

The

> to 3 presentations at each Panel session.
We very much hope that this

firms

Program
> of the OASIS eGovernment Member Section.

> The eGovernment Member Section VISION
> To promote the adoption and implementation of open standards to facilitate
> interoperability and to stimulate the sharing of best practices and
> examination of use cases, bringing together the public administrations at
> all levels with other OASIS constituencies - enterprises, research and
> academia and ICT professionals wherever they are.
>
> The eGovernment Member Section WORK PROGRAM includes the following:
>
> 1. Promoting interoperability
frameworks by developing cooperation
> projects with other relevant groups, such as Liberty, CEN, ETSI, ITU and
> W3C, and to eGMS Workshop call, page 2.
>
> 2. Engage closely with, for
example, the US Government, the European
> Union institutions, and the World Bank as well as the widest possible
range
> of governments at national/federal, regional and local levels.
>
> 3. Developing eGovernment
guidelines that could add value by focusing
> on use cases and specific requirements at different levels of public
> administration in countries from varying levels of economic and
> technological development. Such
guidelines could also identify points at
> which new standards may need to be developed and demonstrate how various
> ways of implementing existing standards could accelerate the egov maturity
> process.
>
> 4. Creating a platform for a
series of activities - webinars,
> workshops, discussion fora - focused on stimulating more inclusive and
> citizen-centred eGov solutions.
