Greetings,
I am getting ready to write my doctoral dissertation proposal, in which I hope to come up with a way to examine the eGov projects in Turkey.I am not sure yet what my focus will be. Would you please direct me to the relevant literature and/or people who might help me with finding the literature/ issues regarding studying e-government projects?
Thanks in advance,
Mete

Hi all,
Back in October there was much discussion on this list about the availability of papers from the Maastricht conference online. Or rather, there was much discussion about the fact that they weren't available. A number of listmembers argued that putting them online was a simple process that should take no time and were critical about the fact that this wasn't done. Others appreciated there were two significant reasons for this not having been done - 1/ permission had not been sought from presenters and 2/ it would actually take a lot of planning and implementation time.
In Steve's AoIR Executive Committee Report earlier this month, he mentioned that plans are afoot to do something of this sort for the Toronto conference next year. Various options are under discussion between the conference organising group, the executive committee and other interested parties. One option under review is to create a CD-rom of proceedings (including videos of keynote speeches), that could be available for sale after the event, with proceeds paying for costs of production both of the CD and of online versions of papers etc.
What is actually included on the CD and produced for online consumption will most likely depend on the amount of work we might expect from volunteers in putting together the relevant material.
Please would anyone interested in volunteering to take on some of this work contact me by e-mail at ben.davidson@groupintervisual.net so we can start getting an idea of the skills and resources available to make this happen?
Thanks, and good wishes for 2003.
Ben

Summary November 13 - December 16, 2002 ... Ben Davidson volunteered to contribute to the "resource committee" that was suggested at the general meeting in Maastricht (entails potentially taping/streaming sessions). Ben is now in touch with the conference committee in Toronto to discuss this issue further. The exec committee debated various options such as a pre-payment plan partially supported by AoIR as an organization to create such tapes/CDs. The issue is still in discussion. People interested in contributing to this (financially or through expertise) please contact Ben Davidson or Liss Jeffrey.
