14. E-Government Priorities
The EGWG will be the forum where the MS could share knowledge and experiences in two main areas
Reduction of Administrative Burdens and Inclusive Government.
The approach of these themes could be made from different aspects:
Processes - People - Technology
Is an user centric approach the enabler for the transformation of Public Administration?
What are the instruments that can promote the transformation?
How to promote the use of electronic services?
How to make services more attractive for citizens?
What are the services with high impact on the reduction of administrative burdens?
What are the initiatives addressing the needs of disadvantaged and potentially excluded?
How to put in practice the transformation of the back offices?
How to measure the progress?
ENHANCING THE EFFICIENCY
OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT
DEMOGRAPHIC AND AGEING
Considering the EUPAN priorities - enhancing the efficiency of public management and governance and Demographic Change, the eGovernment WG identifies as main working areas for the next two years: Reduction of Administrative Burdens and Inclusive Government, both with the same vision: Customer Orientation (focusing on user centric services).
Those are some of the questions that we could focus

15. E-Government Priorities
So, during the next 2 years the egovernment working group could develop several activities like: identifie services wiht high impact on the reduction of administrative burdens for citizens or to work on guidelines to manage tranversal services …

Within each WG can be set out temporary LTs on the basis of particular common interests of some members, with the objective to produce outputs to share within the WGs.
Relate the LTs theme to WGs/EUPAN mission
The LT could have two primary kinds of outputs:
Innovative: to develop new themes.

21. LT guidelines & principles
MTP- Cooperation- LT
LT guidelines & principles
The LG philosophy of action should be “win-win”: all LT members should learn with the LT experience.
The LT nature is not academic but practice.
The LT “clients” are the LT members, the WGs members, the EUPAN network and the European public services.
The LT is free to set up the form of work, namely the coordination, the responsible for the minutes of the meetings, the possible reports and presentations, etc.
The LT is free to set up the most appropriate way of work .To avoid extra costs to MS attendance meetings it is not a prerequisite, but LT members are free to decide on this.

22. Main advantages of the LTs
