E-GOVERNMENT
>>>>04. UN Global E-government Readiness Report
2004
...(UNPAN, 10/12/2004)
This year's report comprises two parts. Part I presents the
UN Global
E-Government Readiness Survey 2004 while Part II presents a
special
focus on what constitutes disparity in access to ICT. It delves
into
the issues of what constitutes a lack of access-for-opportunity
or
the 'access-opportunity divide', what defines it, what governs
it and
where the countries of the world are placed in terms of their
access
to ICTs.

>>>>05. Public denied access to Council documents on Data
Retention
...(The Observatory, 15/12/2004)
The draft Framework Decision on the retention of traffic data
resulting from electronic communication has been sent to the
European
Parliament at the beginning of December. This started the public
part
of the law making process. But the Council of the European Union
has
still failed to declassify the very document that the Parliament
is
supposed to vote on next spring.

>>>>06. EU Report: Member States lazy to protect data
...(IDA, 15/12/2004)
The European Commission has adopted, on 7 December 2004, its
annual
report on the implementation of the EU electronic communications
regulatory package. The report states that 20 of the EU's present
25
Member States have notified the Commission that they have adopted
primary legislation
transposing the package, which became law in 2002.

E-POLICY
>>>>07. New Africa ICT Group Seeks to Forge Partnership
...(All Africa, 12/12/2004)
One of the key mandates of the consortium is to formulate ICT
strategies and getting all skills in the sector working together.
The
consortium comprises Center for Strategic Development, ICT Policy
Center, African Regional Center for Computing and Unitel.

>>>>08. Open access to law in developing countries
...(First Monday, 12/12/2004)
Securing a widespread and, whenever possible, free, access to
legal
information has become important everywhere. Open access has
higher
stakes in developing countries where access to law is often
difficult. In this particular context, free access to statutes
and
case law could
significantly contribute to a better establishment of the rule
of law
and an overall consolidation of national legal institutions.

>>>>09. Jurisprudence shows shortcomings French digital
economy law
...(EDRI-gram, 15/12/2004)
The French digital economy law recently entered into force.
The first
2 court cases already demonstrate noxious effects of the law.
As
feared by French civil rights organisations like EDRI-member
IRIS,
the Human Rights League and others, the LEN creates judicial
insecurity for French website editors and ISPs and legitimises
private justice. Before the LEN, only courts could decide on
take-
down of websites.

E-VOTE
>>>>10. E-Voting Still Expensive, Fraught with Security
Issues
...(eCommerce News, 12/12/2004)
The U.S. federal election showed the flaws of electronic voting,
with
stories circulating about candidate names appearing incorrectly
on
the check-out screens of the polling kiosks, power outages and
untrained poll staff.

INTERNET
>>>>11. 20% Europeans read spam and buy goods
...(Bussines Software Alliance, 15/12/2004)
Research by Forrester, commissioned by the Business Software
Alliance, shows an incredibly high number of Europeans that
use spam
to buy computer software, clothes/jewellery and travel/leisure
products. In France, Germany and the UK, 1 in every 5 internet
users
said they had bought one
of these things via spam. The poll was simultaneously conducted
in
Brazil, Canada and the US, under 1.000 online respondents per
country. Brazil tops the chart of purchases in every category.
