     · The role of the XML standards supporting the Open Government Initiative
       (e.g., Akoma Ntoso, CEN Metalex, eCourt)

     · The role of standardization bodies (OASIS, OMG, etc.) and how they can help the
       government and industry accelerate the pace towards open government.

 Panelists:

     · Peter Brown, Chairman, Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information
       Standards (OASIS)

     · Jim Cabral, Senior Manager, Justice Information Technology Management,
