(We apologize for multiple copies of this message)

We are delighted to announce the vote on the new DG Society  
constitution. As someone with a proven interest in Digital  
Government / eGovernment, you are invited to cast your vote on the  
proposed constitutions of the new North American and international  
societies.

to cast your votes.

The first vote is for the ratification of the constitution proposed  
for the new North American Digital Government society. Should this  
constitution be passed, we will solicit candidates to run for the  
various positions of the new society's Board. A vote will be held,  
timed so that the new Board can take office at the dg.o 2006  
conference in May.

The second vote is for the international Digital Government /  
eGovernment society. Naturally, we cannot unilaterally establish this  
society without significant input from colleagues around the world.  
Nonetheless, if this draft constitution be ratified, it will form a  
basis upon which further steps can be taken toward the establishment  
of an international society, with chapter associations representing  
various regions.


Please cast your vote before Sunday, March 12.
