“E-democracy represents the use of
information and communication technologies
and strategies by democratic actors within
political and governance processes of local
communities, nations and on the international
stage. Democratic actors/sectors include
governments, elected officials, the media,
political organizations, and citizen/voters”.

WHAT THE E-DEMOCRACY GROUP HAVE DONE
Flandes, January 26, 2010: the Group approved a survey, elaborated by the Basque Parliament
The survey was about the implementation of the e-democracy tools among the CALRE members
18 legislative assemblies filled the survey

We have advanced on many respects. However,
Our legislative assemblies have a poor degree of efficiency when using e-democracy tools
The is a great degree of disorientation
The gap among many assemblies is enormous

CURRENT SITUATION
Local Governments are mostly stuck on the web 1.0: unilateral flow of information
We need to adapt to web 2.0: interactive, multilateral flow of information.

The first phase (Information) is much developed,
there is a lot of information available to the public.

In E-CONSULTATION (online surveys) and
E- PARTICIPATION (forums, blogs, etc.) we have not avanced much.

WHY?
There is no model to measure sustaintability and follow up the work done
The services offered to the public are often complex and user-unfriendly
Lack of a real compromise on behalf the legislative assemblies

Listening to the citizen first:
what they need, what they want,
what they expect from the Internet tools.

Reaching the citizen, and not
only wait for him to come and
participate spontaneously: marketing
is important

Fostering interaction:
citizen-citizen, citizen-institution,
institution-institution, members-members.

Humanizing the web: citizen
wants to feel there is a real person
behind those tools, personalize the
attention.

But, most importan of all…
You should COMPROMISE,
which means: be convinced of the
benefits of e-democracy.

E-natives are an increasing sector
of the population.
We NEED information and
communications techonologies
address them.
Is not a matter of choice any more.
