ONLINE POLITICS
03.>>>>Internet users challenge mainstream politics
.(Demos: 09/10/2003)
Online interaction could improve democratic participation, say
leading
American cyberculture writer and UK e-government minister. The
use of the
internet by supporters of Democrat candidate Howard Dean is
an example of
the way online communications is changing politics, according
to a new Demos
book called "Open Source Democracy".

04.>>>>The New Road to the White House
.(Wired Magazine: November 2003)
When they write the account of the 2004 campaign, it will include
at least
one word that has never appeared in any presidential history:
blog. Whether
or not it elects the next president, the blog may be the first
innovation
from the Internet to make a real difference in election politics.
But to see
just why requires a bit of careful attention.

as of 2004
.(eGovernment News:16/10/2003)
The laws and other legislation adopted in Austria will soon
be be published

paper form as of
2004.

08.>>>>Citizens strike back in intelligence war
.(NewScientist.com: 13/10/2003)
With the recent demise of the Bush administration's controversial
Terrorist
Information Awareness (TIA) programme to monitor everyone in
the US,
citizens now have a chance to get their own back. A website
to be launched
later in 2003 will allow people to post information about the
activities of
government organisations, officials and the judiciary.

TECHNOLOGY & SOLLUTIONS
09.>>>>Israel slams the door on Microsoft
.(The Register:14/10/2003)
Exclusive: In a bold assertion of independence, Israel has thrown
the full
weight of its antitrust legislation at Microsoft. The Israeli
Ministry of
Commerce has suspended all governmental contracts with Microsoft,
and
indicated that the ban will last throughout 2004. The de facto
suspension
means no upgrades for the duration, at a time when Microsoft
is looking to
roll out its Office 2003 upgrade; and the Ministry is said to
be examining
OpenOffice as an alternative.

10.>>>>Florida privatizing technology functions
.(USATODAY.com: 16/10/2003)

11.>>>>Wheels in motion
.(The Guardian: 16/10/2003)
If you're outside Woolworth's in the centre of Widnes, Cheshire,
tomorrow
week, look out for an innovation in e-government. Halton Borough
Council's
Benefits Express, a bus packed with IT, will be helping local
people
navigate the bureaucratic maze of applying for housing benefits
and council
tax relief.

E-GOVERNMENT
12.>>>>Most government websites worldwide still
do not offer online
services, finds new research
.(eGovernment News:13/10/2003)
Governments around the world are increasingly using the Internet
to provide
information and services to their citizens, but the third annual
Global
e-Government Survey undertaken by researchers at Brown University
suggests
that actual online services are not as widespread as they could
be and that
governments still have a long way to go toward realising the
promise of
e-government.

documentID=1630&parent=chapter&preChapterID=0-140-194
13.>>>>A question of take up
.(KableNET.com: 15/10/2003)
The Office of the e-Envoy is offering tentative advice on how
to improve
usage of e-government services. Whitehall departments are not
to receive any
formal guidelines on how to boost take up of e-services, but
instead are
being offered a set of 140 questions in order to help develop
usage
strategies, the Office of the e-Envoy (OeE) has said.
