GovStack is an international initiative that aims to break down the barriers to building sustainable digital infrastructure and help governments create human-centered digital services that empower individuals and improve well-being.  It is led by:

• German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
• GIZ, the German federal government's international development cooperation agency
• Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• International Telecom Union (ITU)
• Digital Impact Alliance

GovStack specifications are quality requirements and principles that describe Building Blocks. These are software modules that can be deployed and combined in a standardized manner, enabling governments to achieve scalable and maintainable government-wide interoperability, as Building Blocks are, by design, composable, and standards-based.

The TYPO3 Community Expansion Committee initiated the CMS Building Block initiative and its members have been central in creating the draft specification that will be presented at this event. Committee Lead Daniel Homorodean and TYPO3 Project Ambassador Mathias Bolt Lesniak are the facilitators of the nascent GovStack CMS Building Block Working Group.
