Council of Europe’s policy recommendations on eDemocracy

Action required: Council of Europe asks for comments on final draft of policy recommendations on eDemocracy

The following text has been edited and distributed by Christoforos Korakas:

“The Council of Europe is finalising a rather important document meant to become a policy recommendation to its member states (47) on eDemocracy

The Draft Recommendation is being compiled and prepared by a group of experts and country representatives participating at the Council of Europe Ad’Hoc eDemocracy Committee (CAHDE)

During the last discussion of this Committee (in Madrid, during the Forum for the Future of Democracy, 15-17/10/2008) it was decided that the document should be diffused to all eDemocracy related Networks to get feed back and comments

I have created a blog with inline comments enabled so that you can react on specific parts of the document

All you need to do is highlight the part of the text you want to comment on and you can add a comment.

It is one of these rare opportunities we have to really influence policy, moreover on a domain that is presumably of interest to all of you.

Thank you for your contributions.
