DIGITAL DIVIDE
06.>>>>Senegal seeks bridge across digital divide
...(theregister.co.uk: 23/09/2004)
African leaders want to help the poorest nations on the continent
deal with poverty by persuading wealthier nations to subsidise
mobile
phones and internet access. Abdoulaye Wade, the President of
Senegal,
told reporters at the UN General Assembly that he is launching
a
global fund to help widen access to technology. He said that
there is
still a digital divide between poor and rich nations, stating
that "there are more telephones in Manhattan than in all Africa",
Reuters reports.

07.>>>>Digital divide leaves a quarter of Brits
stranded
...(vnunet.com: September 2004)
According to its latest survey investigating the nation's computing
habits, there are a "significant proportion of adults who are
in
danger of being marginalised as the government gears society
up for
the information age".
Although 59 per cent of poll respondents said they have a home
PC, 26
per cent have no access to a PC whatsoever, whether at home,
work,
college or a public library, suggesting that the IT revolution
is in
danger of leaving behind a quarter of the population.

E-VOTE
08.>>>>E-voting systems must be based on open standards,
says Council
of Europe
...(eGovernment News: 20/09/2004)
A recently finalised draft recommendation by the Committee of
Ministers of the Council of Europe (COE) stresses the need to
ensure
that e-voting systems are transparent, auditable and based on
open
standards.
Although it recognises the potential benefits of e-voting, the
Council of Europe believes it also carries certain risks. The
COE’s
Committee of Ministers has thus entrusted the “Multidisciplinary
Ad
Hoc Group of Specialists on legal, operational and technical
standards for e-enabled voting” with the task of developing
a set of
standards that could be used as a reference by member states
considering the introduction of e-voting programmes.

09.>>>>Swiss e-vote gets thumbs up
...(Virtual democracy: 27/09/2004)
SWITZERLAND has managed to stage what it thinks is the first
legally
binding internet vote in a national referendum.
More than 2720 people in four Geneva suburbs, about one in five
voters in the region who took part, voted online on questions
including naturalisation laws, maternity leave and postal reform.
The
vote followed a number of successful online local council elections,
and although 90 per cent of voters still used the traditional
method
of papers and booths the poll is being hailed as a step toward
virtual democracy.

TRANSPARENCY
10.>>>>EU strikes accounting deal, misses transparency
goal
...(Daily Times: 05/10/2004)
BRUSSELS: EU governments missed the goal of introducing fully
comparable accounting standards in 2005 by endorsing a compromise
on
Friday that will allow banks to choose between slightly different
bookkeeping rules. European Union states cleared the final obstacle
to adopting new International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS)
next year as they backed a watered-down version of the controversial
IAS 39 derivatives rule that is key for banks, EU diplomats
said.

E-GOVERNMENT
11.>>>>Hungarian "e-government" long on vision,
short on services,
says EIU
...(Interfax-Europe: 28/09/2004 )
Budapest- In terms of developing an "e-government," Hungary
is in the
middle of the pack among new and prospective EU members from
the
central and eastern European region, as well-intentioned information
society programs and a high level of IT education and skills
have yet
to translate into viable online public services for citizens
and
especially businesses, according to a survey by the Economist
Intelligence Unit (EIU).
Hungary was ranked fifth in the EIU's survey of 11 countries,
just
behind Poland and ahead of Turkey. At the top, Estonia, the
Czech
Republic and Slovenia have clearly pulled away from the rest
of the
field, and their e-government services and infrastructure "now
compare favorably with the rest of the EU," according to the
EIU.

12.>>>>EU urged to rethink e-government
...(Kablenet: 22/11/2004)
The EU must harmonise its e-goverment systems to make the most
of
them, urges a report from the Dutch presidency that seeks to
promote 'innovation' in the use of technology. The Dutch presidency
of the EU wants to rethink Europe's e-government agenda encouraging
member states to adopt "more complex" applications and transactional
systems, according to its latest IT strategy report. The report,
which is published in advance of an EU IT policy conference
on 29
September, 2004, calls for "breakthroughs" in e-government.
Rather
than focusing on IT "connectivity" it wants to see more
sophisticated "innovative government services" on offer.

13.>>>>REPORT: e-Europe 2005
...(Development Gateway: 29/09/2004)
A study prepared by business school INSEAD assessed the "alignment"
of the new EU member states with the "old" ones in terms of
the
objectives set out in the eEurope 2005 Action Plan. The study
measured 28 countries (25 EU Member States and three candidate
countries) based on how they compare to the average score of
the
15 "old" member states.
