Apologies for double-postings!

Dear colleagues,

This message will be of interest to you, if you are interested/engaged in
Digital Government/Electronic Government research:


At the 2005 International Conference on Digital Government Research
(dg.o2005) held in Atlanta, GA (May 16 to 18), a group of some 50 scholars
in the field of digital government research discussed the future development
of the field. For fostering digital government research and practice around
the world, there was agreement that a future Digital Government Society
might play an important organizational, communicative, and informational
role. 

It was decided to explore the prospects of such a society in more detail.
One initiative among others in this context was the development of a mission
statement for the prospective society. A worldwide, semi-structured
electronic discussion was launched and conducted over 11 weeks, which
contributed to the various aspects of the envisioned society's mission. From
that discussion, a short mission statement has been derived, which captures
the essence of the discussions without becoming too specific or remaining
too general. The voting on this proposed mission statement is the final step
in the process charted out in May.

If you are interested/engaged in Digital Government/Electronic Government
research we invite you to comment on and vote on the mission statement.
