  • We’re determined that government websites should be efficient and meet people’s needs - easy to find, easy to use, and fully accessible. And in our relentless drive to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the way we use websites to meet this goal, we have already closed 900 now unnecessary government websites, with plans to close nearly 500 more. And we will set new challenging standards of quality and accountability for government websites - including a requirement that each one allows feedback and engagement with citizens themselves.  From today no new website will be allowed unless it fully meets these requirements.

  • Revitalising our politics, our governance and our democracy means going beyond simply increased openness about previously secret information - it requires the policy-making monopoly of ministers and the civil service to be challenged - where practicable - through a step change in the opportunities for people to engage with and interact with government in its policy proposals

  • Ultimately this can provide the basis for them to participate in deliberative processes to formulate policy - setting off a historic shift in the way public policy is made.
  • This includes opening more policy development to wider scrutiny, for example through the use of e-petitions and deliberative events
  • Since it was established at the end of 2006, the number 10 e-petitions service has received more than 70 thousand petitions. There have been more than 12 million signatures placed and the Government has replied with more than 8 million e-mail responses. Each week I record a podcast and use twitter most days. Number10.gov.uk carries out daily conversations with more than 1.7 million followers. There have been almost 2 million views of our images on flickr and 4.3 million views of our films and videos on YouTube.
  • identify the far wider scope for deliberative engagements with the public, specifiying the outcome expected from such engagement
  • giving people a greater say over the policies that affect their lives and the services on which they depend.

No "great Firewall of cambodia" ? Digital democracy emerging in Cambodia - 0 views

  • But the government’s philosophy of not paying much attention or restricting online access stems from the fact that Internet penetration is very low in Cambodia. As per 2007 statistics, only an estimated 0.3 percent of the population is connected to the Internet. This is due to the high cost of Internet connections as well as computer hardware and software that not many can afford. Besides, the level of computer literacy is also very low.
  • So Internet censorship by the government is minimal, as Cambodia’s Internet community is relatively very small and spending on technology does not benefit the government or the majority of the population. Besides, the current level of Cambodia’s technological knowledge is still limited
  • With the government encouraging e-government and e-communication on the Internet, there is hope that there will not be another “great firewall of Cambodia” like China has for filtering Internet content, although the same is practiced by neighboring countries like Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

  • hey have added their own new hashtag, #CN4Iran, and even built a new site to support the struggle of the Iranian people, titled CN4Iran.org. Global Voices interviewed one of the cyber activists behind this initiative.
  • Our site was created in Dec 28, 2009, hosted by Dreamhost.com (US). Our objective is to support the Iranian people for liberty and democracy, learn from them and spread the experiences to Chinese people.
  • Our target is the Chinese cyber citizen, firstly the Chinese users on twitter.com, and then other Chinese Internet users who read our information. Also, we infrequently have some worldwide readers, and we tell them the reaction in China (by translating some Chinese news into English)

  • Do you see any similarity between Chinese and Iranian censorship? What about cyber activism? We know that many web sites have been blocked by Iran Regime, which is similar to China. I guess they also have a censor system for keyword filtering, like the Great Firewall (GFW) in China. Such situation is quite common in countries like Iran and China.

  • Il s'agit d'une initiative commune du portail politique allemand et du British Council, l'agence culturelle britannique en Allemagne pour créer une base de données interactive sur les projets et les initiatives destinés à renforcer la participation citoyenne en Allemagne et au Royaume-Uni.
  • Si, aujourd'hui, le portail e-participation.it recense les initiatives menées en Italie, l'objectif, à terme, est d'ouvrir cette base de données à toutes les expériences européennes.

    whitehouse-logo-mar09.pngBoth YouTube and the White House announced today that this year's State of the Union address will be broadcast on the YouTube channel Citizentube, as well as streamed live and broadcast to your iPhone. In addition to these Internet broadcasts, both announced that the average Joe or Jane Citizen would get a chance to ask the president some questions this time around, by way of a contest on Google Moderator.

    President Obama declared during the campaign that "we are the ones we've been waiting for." That messianic phrase held the promise of a new style of politics in this time of tweets and pokes. But it was vague, a paradigm slipped casually into our drinks. To date, the taste has proven bittersweet.
