E-DEMOCRACY
03.>>>>The future of e-democracy: lessons from Canada
...(openDemocracy.net: 13/11/2003)
E-democracy, fuelled by new techniques like automated text summaries,
is more than a tool of efficiency, customer service or good
public relations - it could help create a refreshed public space
and a more accountable democracy. An innovative project in Canada's
New Brunswick province highlights the benefits of continuing
to experiment.

04.>>>>A portal for the people?
...(Guardian Unlimited: 10/11/2003)
A new BBC site hopes to transform politically apathetic members
of the public into single-issue activists. But will it just
be a magnet for net heads and moaning nimbys, asks Owen Gibson.

E-VOTE
05.>>>>Canada Marks First Internet Election in North

06.>>>>Proposed development of e-voting sparks political
controversy in Ireland
...(eGovernment News: 11/11/2003)
In a report published on 03/11/2003, the Irish Labour Party
called for the suspension of the electronic voting system due
to be implemented nationwide for the June 2004 European and
local elections. The report, entitled "Electronic Voting in
Ireland - A Threat to Democracy?", claims the system has not
been fully tested, may contain programming errors, and could
be tampered with by someone trying to influence the vote count.

DIGITAL DIVIDE
07.>>>>Africa's Digital Divide Initiatives - Time
for a Reality Check - An Off-The-Record Briefing
...(Balancing Act News: issue no. 180)
Interest is using ICT for development is probably well over
20 years old. But interest in the digital divide seemed to come
into sharp focus with the G8 Dot Force three years ago. The
attention span of world politicians is notoriously fickle. Other
important issues - Afghanistan, HIV/AIDS and Iraq - to name
but a few always seem to come along. Democratic politicians
are often gone in five years. So as we're about halfway through
the five year cycle it seemed like a good idea to take stock
of what's happening on the digital divide front in Africa.

10.>>>>Ambitious Sri Lankan project to usher in
e-governance
...(Digital Opportunity Channel: 12/11/2003)
Sri Lanka began preparing for the World Summit on the Information
Society (WSIS) way back in December 2002, after the Telecommunication

POLICY
11.>>>>Congress approves $3 million for E-Gov Fund
...(GCN.com: 17/11/2003)

root in agencies, Congress still has not jumped on the bandwagon.

to a fiscal 2004 appropriations bill that would allocate $3
million to the E-Government Fund.

...(Wired News: 16/11/2003)
If he is to make good on his promise to improve life for the
tens of millions of Brazilians who live in dire poverty, President

bridge a massive technology gap. And if that means shunning
Microsoft software in South America's largest country, then
so be it.
