F2F2 Agenda Restructuring Sandbox
Only purpose and agenda part are here. The content of this page may be modified until midnight (EST) on Friday, 6 March. Outcome will be incorporated into the "official agenda" on Monday first in the morning (EST).
Purpose of the Meeting
The Group has been compiling Draft Use Cases to identify the main issues that governments are facing when using the Web, and is drafting an "issues document" (called Group Note) that will be released later this year with the main issues identified and hints on how they have can be solved.
This meeting will serve as the second face-to-face Group meeting plus a get together with eGovernment stakeholders to discuss the issues already identified, namely:
- Participation and Citizen Engagement
- Open Government Data
- Interoperability
- Multi-channel delivery
- Identification and Authentication
- Long term data management
and the future steps that should be taken in the second phase of the eGoverment Activity at W3C, that would start later this year.
Agenda
(Note, the agenda will be finalized based on speaker confirmation)
Sessions will be open discussion following a provocation/reflection/action approach:
- provocation with burning issues
- analyze how those could be addressed
- come up with actions that the Group should take and where it would be of most help
(Please note that breaks, meals, are on the participant's own)
