Subject: National Consultation on Open Solutions for e-Governance
To: elkamath at gmail.com



The
need for developing standards for interoperability among various
e-Governance applications
has a great relevance for ensuring success of National e-Governance Plan
(NeGP). The government has already created a draft policy, which is open
for
discussion and feedback from various stakeholder groups (see http://egovstandards.gov.in/public-review/egscontent.2008-08-22.3525430649/base_view).
Keeping
in view the importance of the subject, we have decided to host a series of
consultations to generate awareness and to get inputs. The first national
consultation in the series is scheduled to be hosted as a dedicated session
on "Open Solutions for e-Governance" during Skoch Summit 2008
India
@ Work (www.indiaatwork.in) on
October 23, 2008 at India Habitat
Center
from
2.00 pm - 5.30 pm. In this round presentations are expected from Red Hat,
TCS,
Department of IT, NIC, IBM & Sun Microsystems etc. Since large number
of domain
experts and users are traveling from across the country to attend
this summit and given that the policy is open for public review, this may
be an
ideal occasion to get a first hand feel. Some of the issues
that this consultation seeks to focus on include:
 
	1. Rationale and implications of the draft policy on promotion of e-governance in
India? Feedback and suggestions.
	2. What could be the institutional mechanisms for supporting open solution implementations
in the government?
	3. What are the best examples of open solutions that are worth sharing and replicating everywhere and how can such a sharing be
enabled?
	4. How to further enhance the skill base for open solution
implementations?
By
hosting a series of multi stakeholder consultations on the subject, we
propose
to facilitate a deeper understanding and learning of the issues, ideate on
solutions and provide an informed participatory feedback into policy from
an
independent platform. Pre-registered delegates for the summit need not
register
separately for this consultation. Those who have not registered for the
summit
and are interested in this session only may request an invitation by
sending an
email to info at skoch.in latest by 17:30 hrs on 21 October 2008.
