Call for Proposals of New Conferences with dg.o2006

[dgonline at mailman.isi.edu]

Dear Colleagues:

I would like to call your attention to an upcoming change in the annual 
National Conference on Digital Government Research that may be of great 
interest to you and others in your DG-related discipline.

Beginning next year, the conference will expand its scope by 
encouraging other conferences, symposia and workshops in fields related 
to Digital Government research to meet concurrently with dg.o2006.

This annual gathering will offer an unparalleled opportunity for 
collaboration and education among the many researchers, scholars and 
government practitioners involved in the DG-related fields of computer 
science, policy studies and e-government practice.

With this in mind, we invite you to consider organizing and launching a 
new one-time or annual gathering or holding a previously planned one in 
conjunction with dg.o2006. Your meeting may take the form of a 
workshop, symposium or full-fledged conference; it could last from half 
a day to 3 days, or even longer. Dg.o2006 will be held in southern 
California during the week of May 22, 2006.

The Digital Government conference will act as a logistical umbrella: we 
will arrange for the venue and will help you provide your attendees 
with hotel rooms and any needed meals, as well as online registration 
services. And we can help publicize your conference to the DG community 
at large.

To discuss this further, please contact:

         Yigal Arens
         Co-Director, Digital Government Research Center
         USC/Information Sciences Institute
         arens at isi.edu
         310-448-8766

Yours,
