Mission, Vision & TasksTell us what is your interest area on eGovernment. The idea is that people participates in its expertise area. We are only a tool, in order to have better and more coordinated results in benefit of the society. Right now, we are finishing our website and starting with workgroups on cybersecurity, privacy, interoperability, smart cities, and other areas withing eGovernment field. We will tell you about it in some days. We will open a call for participation too. IEEE eGovernment CommunityIEEEeGC_3c28c818-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a28 The IEEE Computer Society’s Special Technical Community on eGovernment aims at carrying out more coordinated and better work on eGovernment within the IEEE. The IEEE eGovernment STC is a new worldwide and transversal division within IEEE and, particularly, it is part of the IEEE Computer Society. This is an open community, related specially to public organizations’ technological areas. Some of the tasks this IEEE division could carry out are (but not limited to): [the following goals]Carlos E. Jimenez ChairIEEEIEEE Computer SocietyOur perspective and strategy is integrated and aligned with the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE view. Right now, we are in the process of developing it too, but these are some of the key elements it will include: [those outlined in our draft mission and vision statements]Cybersecurity WorkgroupPrivacy WorkgroupInteroperability Workgroup Smart Cities WorkgroupTo become the preferred resource for technology professionals and public managers pursuing excellence in management of innovation and technology on eGovernment. Governments will increasingly seek IEEE’s input as an unbiased source of technical information. Governments will request IEEE opinions before policy decisions. IEEE experts will always be invited to participate in conferences and international government fora. _3c28ceda-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a28To support public managers worldwide pursuing excellence in management of innovation and technology on eGovernment in order to be more efficient, effective and transparent, as well as to serve to the citizen. To enable technology professionals and managers, members of IEEE, to optimize organizational effectiveness in public organizations, more specifically, in the eGovernment area in order to be more efficient, effective and transparent. The IEEE eGovernment STC will help organize the IEEE community to come together to advance in the eGovernment area._3c28cfac-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a28WorkshopsSet up workshops in IEEE conferences addressed to authors and attendees_3c28d024-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a281_3c28d092-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a28StandardsDraft standards _3c28d10a-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a282_3c28d178-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a28ArticlesInvite authors to submit technical articles to different journals, magazines and newsletters_3c28d1f0-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a283_3c28d268-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a28CoursewareDesign and try courseware for government IT practitioners _3c28d2fe-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a284Government IT Practitioners_3c28d376-1238-11e2-b24e-8d9e97258a282012-10-09http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers?viewQuestionAndAnswers=&discussionID=172614090&gid=4568293&commentID=98258641&trk=view_disc&ut=0s_OsoyQbihls1OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
