The easiest way to characterize the difference between a fan of a consumer business and one of a local institution or a nonprofit is by their degree of desired engagement.

The problem is that most local institutions—I’m singling out hospitals here for special attention—and nonprofits don’t do a very good job with their pages. They certainly don’t put as much care and feeding into those pages as their commercial counterparts do.

becoming a fan of a Facebook page is motivated by the expectation that the organization will use the page as a vehicle for keeping its fans up to date. Many hospitals, for example, host educational events for the community, but few hospitals take advantage of the “events” tab on fan pages to list those activities.

Quelles sont-elles ? Selon l’article 12 de la loi 19 juillet 1977 relative à la publication et à la diffusion de certains sondages d'opinion, ainsi que l’article L. 52-1 du code électoral associé à la sanction pénale définie par l’article L. 90-1 du même code, la publication la veille et le jour du scrutin de sondages est punie d’une amende de 75.000 €. Cette interdiction frappe donc aussi les sondages « sortie des urnes », élaborées à partir d’enquêtes réalisée à la sortie des bureaux de vote. Par ailleurs, selon l’article L. 52-2 du code électoral, dont l'infraction est sanctionnée par l’article L. 89 du même code, prohibe la publication « de résultat d'élection, partiel ou définitif (…) par la voie de la presse ou par tout moyen de communication au public par voie électronique, en métropole, avant la fermeture du dernier bureau de vote sur le territoire métropolitain ».

Cette interdiction concerne donc les estimations publiés à 18h30, projections calculées par les instituts de sondages à partir des résultats d’un certain nombre de bureaux test ayant des comportements de vote semblables au reste de la France. Sans que l’on comprenne bien pourquoi, la sanction est dans ce cas beaucoup plus légère que dans le premier cas : 3.750 €. « Il y a un peu d’ordre à mettre dans tout cela, constate Marie-Eve Aubin, présidente de la Commission de sondages. D’autant que nos pouvoirs et notre champ d’intervention sont limités ». « Il faudra préciser les moyens de la commission des sondages », confirme Jean-Pierre Sueur, sénateur PS du Loire, chargé, avec Hugues Portelli, sénateur UMP du Val d’Oise, d’un rapport pour la Commission des lois du Sénat sur la question des sondages, qui doit être rendu en juin ou en septembre prochains.

Peut-être proposeront-ils également une surveillance accrue du Net. En 2007, la Commission de contrôle de la campagne et la Commission des sondages avait en effet mis en place un dispositif de surveillance sur Internet afin de repérer les infractions au code électoral.

A decalogue like a work in progress, to promote the idea and the principles of a new Public Administration more able to act and operate in the era of the Nets. This is the “Manifesto Amministrare 2.0”

The Venetian event permitted to collect a lot of ideas and suggestions useful to the writing of the document. First of all, anyway, it was very important to understand that many italian Administrations, and inside them politicians, managers and civil servants, are strongly convinced that the Public Administration need to embrace, at least partially, that “web 2.0 philosophy” who is changing the web and, more important, the life of organizations, enterprises and millions of people

The role of politics Politicians must be able to take responsibility of their choices. The organizational dimension Public Administrations must change their organization and their procedures, pursuing a new idea of relationship with citizens and abandoning the self-approach. The Net as a right The access to the Net, specially to broadband, must be easy and cheap everywhere. Beyond the cultural divide Citizens must be helped to develop a new digital culture. The involvement of citizens There’s no Public Administration 2.0 without a strong intervention in favour of participation. The multi-channel approach as opportunity Service are really tailored if there’s attention to the channels more appropriate for the different users’ target. Disintermediation to better act To promote a Public Administration no more “one way” and finally “2.0” is important to foster a bigger disintermediation between institutions and citizens. Re-start form the semantics of public contents The semantics presentation of public information, services and contents must be conceived with the final users and open to folksonomies. Software as enabling factor Software used in public sector must be open and re-usable by other administrations. Foster the development of active communities User groups and social networks must be considered as a fundamental stimulus to design public web services, starting from their desires and indications.
