>>>>04.More progress required on e-government, says
Kok report
...(IDA, 05/11/2004)
A report presented on 3 November 2004 by a High Level Group
of Independent Experts chaired by former Dutch Prime Minister
Wim Kok has called for more determined political action to revitalise
the Lisbon Strategy for economic, social and environmental renewal
in the EU. In particular, it warned that more efforts are needed

>>>>05.The Rise of Open-Source Politics
...(The Nation, 09/11/2004)
Open-source politics is still a long way off. The term "open
source" specifically refers to allowing any software developer
to see the underlying source code of a program. Applied to political
organizing, open source would mean opening up participation
in planning and implementation to the community, letting competing
actors evaluate the value of your plans and actions, being able
to shift resources away from bad plans and bad planners and
toward better ones, and expecting more of participants in return.
It would mean moving away from egocentric organizations and
toward network-centric organizing.

>>>>06.Poland adopts new e-government action plan
for 2005-2006
...(IDA, 05/11/2004)
The main aim of the plan is to show the directions of the future
development of e-Government in Poland. The plan outlines the
actions that should be undertaken further to the country's accession

possibilities for e-government projects. In addition, the document
presents the projects currently being conducted by the Polish
regional and central administrations according to the priorities
of eEurope 2005 in areas such as broadband,
interoperability, interactive public services, public Internet
access points, culture and tourism.

POLICY
>>>>09.Estonian IT Policy: Towards a More Service-Centred
and Citizen-Friendly State
...(State Information System, 10/11/1983)
ICT-related developments in Estonia have been development driven
rather than policy led, ensuring thus a good level of co-operation
between the public and the private sector. Nevertheless, the
first IT policy, which was approved by the Estonian Parliament
in 1998, was an important step in determining the principles
of the information society development.The document you are
holding in your hand Principles of the Estonian Information
Policy 2004- 2006 is a step further, aiming to strengthen the
central IT co-ordination and increase consistency and collaboration
in developing the information society.

>>>>10.No improvement in India's position in knowledge
economy
...(The Economic Times, 11/11/2004)
India has not made significant overall improvement in its position
in the knowledge economy and has remained among the bottom one-third
countries, the World Bank said on Wednesday. In a study made

performance in the last few years, its overall position has
not shown any significant improvement.

>>>>12.Hungary develops m-government services
...(IDA, 04/11/2004)
The Hungarian authorities are increasingly using mobile government
(m-government) for the delivery of public services. With a penetration
rate of 81% against 30% for computers, mobile phones are a highly
inclusive technology in Hungary. This widespread use of mobile
phones has prompted the country's public authorities to develop
mobile government services through SMS and WAP technologies
and to introduce mobile phones into public administration procedures.

E-VOTE
>>>>13.Voting in a Digital Age
...(Commerce Times, 05/11/2004)
In this year's US election, around 40 million people cast their
votes digitally instead of by paper. For many, this was a relief
because it meant avoiding discussions over hanging chads. There
were no huge digital breakdowns, indicating that while there
are potential problems with digital voting systems, the US seems
to be working out the kinks.

>>>>14.E-Vote Glitch Inflates Bush Total
...(Wired News, 05/11/2004)
State and county election officials did not immediately respond
to requests by the Associated Press for more details about the
voting system and its vendor, and whether the error, if repeated
elsewhere in Ohio, could have affected the outcome.
