Welcome!

You have expressed interest in the W3C eGov Interest Group. We are
restarting meetings for this group this month, and welcome your
participation.  The group is open to all those interested in the advocacy,
adoption, and standards of eGovernment.

The mission of the  eGovernment Interest Group
<http://www.w3.org/egov/IG/>is to build and strengthen the community
of people who use or promote the
use of W3C technologies to improve Government. As a part of the eGovernment
Activity <http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/>, the group will identify and discuss
essential areas of technology and related policy issues. Such discussions
will occur, amongst other places, on its mailing list, in teleconference
seminars, and at face-to-face gatherings. On topics with sufficient interest
and motivated participants, the group will form task forces to produce
documents and otherwise reach out to relevant communities.
