The project 'Candidato2004.net' was unveiled by the President

of the
Information Society, Jorge Pérez. The website was developed
by news agency

objective is to
become an open forum for debate between candidates and citizens
during the
duration of the official campaign, which officially kicked off
on 27 February.

E-VOTE
06.>>>>Gearing up for India's electronic election
…(BBC NEWS: 27/02/2004)
Technicians are working overtime to make India's first all-electronic
general
election go smoothly. The task is a challenging one in this
one-billion-strong
nation - the world's largest democracy - where most voters are
still poor,
rural workers. Over one million electronic voting machines (EVMs)
are required
to cover this vast nation, from the Himalayas down to Kanyakumari
on the
southern tip.

07.>>>>Italy to run pilot electronic vote count
during 2004 European elections
…(eGovernment News: 24/02/2004)
The Italian Department for Innovation and Technologies and the
Ministry of the
Interior announced on 20 February 2004 that a large-scale electronic
vote
count experiment will be carried out during the next elections
for the
European Parliament. The initiative, dubbed “Electronic Scrutiny”,
will take
place alongside the traditional manual vote count during the
June 12-13
European elections in Italy but will not have any legal value.

08.>>>>Scattered glitches as e-voting gets biggest
test
…(MSNBC: 02/03/2004)
As electronic voting machines got their biggest U.S. test thus
far, voters in
Maryland, Georgia and California encountered scattered technical
problems
Tuesday, largely blamed on human error.

09.>>>>The Results Are in and the Winner Is . . . or Maybe
Not
…(NYTimes.com: 29/02/2004)
Rob Behler isn't saying Max Cleland's Senate seat was stolen
by rigged
electronic voting machines, but he insists it could have been.
Mr. Behler, who
helped prepare Georgia's machines for the 2002 election, says
secret computer
codes were installed late in the process. Votes "could have
been manipulated,"
he says, and the election thrown to the Republican, Saxby Chambliss.

ACCESS
10.>>>>Free Wi-Fi access to e-government in Austria
…(eGovernment News: 27/02/2004)
Austrian citizens owning a wireless-enabled notebook can now
access all
government websites free of charge through the country’s network
of Wi-Fi
hotspots. The Austrian government has decided to provide its
citizens with
free wireless access to all “.gov.at” government websites. Any
citizen
equipped with a wireless-enabled notebook can thus connect to
any e-government
service if he or she is close enough to one of the 350 hotspots
currently
available in the country. Most hotspots are located in public
places such as
coffee houses, train stations and hotels.

11.>>>>Government sites fail web accessibility and
standards test
…(silicon.com: 10/02/2004)
Government websites are continuing to ignore mandatory standards
and basic
guidelines aimed at making information more easily available
and accessible,
according to a new study. Key departments and agencies, including
the Cabinet
Office, Home Office, the e-Envoy and UK Online all failed to
comply with
metadata standards that make it easier to manage and find information
on a
website.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
12.>>>>Analysis: Pressure mounts on China rights
…(UPI: 27/02/2004)
The U.S. State Department has once again painted a damning
portrait of
China's government as harsh, authoritarian and bent on restricting
freedoms in
order to retain power. But observers point out social pressures
are eroding
the government's hard-line stance, and that freedoms are burgeoning
out of
official control.

13.>>>>Redefining the News Online
…(OJR: 02/03/2004)
Journalists around the world have long agreed on a set of values
that help
define whether a story is newsworthy. But a new book about online
news argues
that these rules are in flux: "Newsworthy" is slowly being redefined
online by
an increasingly participatory audience.

M-GOVERNMENT
14.>>>>Government goes mobile in Berlin
…(eGovernment News: 26/02/2004)
The system, which was developed jointly by the city’s Interior
Department,
Berlin-based IT company IVU Traffic Technologies and the Heinrich
Hertz
Institute, has been successfully tested since last fall in two
districts and
will now be available in a pilot test to be carried until September
2004.
Considered the only one of its kind in the world, the system
brings all
e-services provided by a large number of Berlin’s government
agencies into a
standard platform that allows for service delivery either in
the agencies’
offices (through online terminals) or “on the move”, thanks
to agents equipped
with mobile terminals.

POLICY
15.>>>>EU comments on United Nations' plans for
a global Information Society
…(PublicTechnology.net: 26/02/2004)
The European Commission's view of the Declaration of Principles
and Plan of
Action agreed by UN Member States as a basis for a common approach
to the
Information Society are set out in a Commission Communication
issued
yesterday. This Communication is of relevance to e-Government
strategies, and
assesses the key results of the December 2003 Geneva World Summit
on
Information Society (WSIS).

16.>>>>European Commission proposes good practice
framework for e-government
…(eGovernment News: 24/02/2004)
The European Commission has proposed the establishment of a
framework to
facilitate the exchange of e-government good practices in Europe.
This
framework is intended to answer calls for a more structured
exchange of good
practices, which was identified as a key priority in the mid-term
progress
review of the eEurope 2005 Action Plan.
