Draft of possible section rules (charter) for future e-Governmentwork

Attached for review and further discussion by our interested 
member stakeholders is a first draft of the 'rules of procedure' 
(charter document) for a possible OASIS e-Government member section. 
  Sections operate under our member section policy rules [1], and 
can serve as a potential interest group and focal point for 
discussions about current and future standardization needs & 
implementation.
   Your feedback is most welcome.  This is the draft noted in the 
prior messages to this list regarding our upcoming discussion in San 
Diego (see below) regarding future e-Government activity.

   Regards, JBC
