Stockholm – Copenhagen, Malmö?
Swedish text only: Britta Lejon om förvaltningsutveckling på konferens med statliga myndighetschefer. Important read for anyone working with e-government and other govarnance issues. Especially for those in Sweden, of course.
Speaking of Sweden, I will soon leave Stockholm. Got a job in Copenhagen, and will start there on 1 October. In Statens Information, an agency which translates into the Danish State Information Service.
I am looking forward to the new job, and to come “back home” after more than four years abroad. I’ll miss Sweden (well …, better not “break up” completely, because I might end up living in Sweden, though in Malmö). The commute is quite a bit, but may in fact be better than commuting on the Danish side.

Why do government officials love e-government and hate e-democracy?
In his (her?) E-Government vs. E-Democracy, J.H. Snider attempts to answer this question. But is it the right question to ask? Maybe. Who’s to blame then? The e-voting people, I’d say! And the online campaigning people too. I’m soooooo tired of e-voting and e-campaigns.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman …
Statement of Patricia McGinnis, President and CEO, Council for Excellence in Government before the Committee on Governmental Affairs in the US Senate: “This is not only about e-government. It is also about e-the people. The internet links people not only to one another and to e-commerce, but to the public marketplace of ideas, initiatives, innovation, transactions, and results.”

Voting Somewhat Smarter?
Advogato: Voting Systems Standards: Available for Public Comment. “For those who aren’t completely sick of hearing about voting and voting systems, the US Federal Election Commission (FEC) just posted the latest version of their Voting Systems Standards (VSS) online for public comment. The original US VSS (1990) were only available in hardcopy format, so few people ever saw them. By making the revised draft available online, the FEC is taking a positive step forward and will likely benefit from having “many eyes” helping to improve the VSS.”
