CAHDE: ‘Committee Ad-Hoc pour Democratie Electronique’ or: working on an e-democracy recommendation

30. May 2008 – 22:41 by E-Voting.CC

For the past 1,5 years E-Voting.CC has been involved in the multilateral working group of the Council of Europe on the E-Democracy. The committee under the chairing of Thomas Buchsbaum (he also successfully negotiated the e-voting commendations in 2003/2004) from the Austrian ministry of European and International Affairs currently works on a recommendation on how e-democracy can be introduced at various levels of government.

The part where E-Voting.CC is heavily involved was the work on ‘a set of generic e-democracy tools’ where we identified and described 28 tools of e-democracy:

1. E-Campaigning
2. E-Discussion
3. E-Information (Aggregation)
4. E-Journalism
5. E-Parliament
6. E-Party (external)
7. E-Politician
8. Grassroots C2C, C2G
9. Vote Navigator
10. Digital Illiteracy
11. E-Complaints
12. E-Consultation

16. Government with Citizens G2C, and C2C
17. E-Obstacles
18. Regulating

19. Single Government Portal
20. Social Network Activities
21. E-CiRM

24. E-Democracy Games
25. E-Democracy Webcasts
26. E-Incentives
