convergence towards enterprise architectures for government sectors as
well as for local governments, and many other things. SIG eGovernment is
an interest organization for eGovernment researchers we invite you to
submit a "white paper" or "position paper" on "What are the most
important issues in eGovernment research and Practice today?" The paper
should not only list and discuss some topic(s) but you should be very
clear about the research issues, their relevance and rigor. Justify why
this issue(s) is (are) important to eGovernment research and practice.
What output can they yield? Why should researchers and/or governments be
