2. eGovernment – Policy making
• Information Society has been a long-standing objective of the
EU
• Significant progress can be and should be made by
– developing an integrated and inclusive policy approach that
– involves all relevant state and civil society actors in the
– design, implementation and evaluation of policy initiatives
• eGovernment policy is a dynamic set of
– regulations and incentives
– provision and absorption
– providing services
• Dynamism comes from the
– changing regulatory environment and is
– facilitated by a negotiated and mutually accepted quality of service for
– citizens, businesses, and non-business civil entities

3. Policy modelling
• Complex interactions across the interfaces between policy makers and actors of
civil society complicates the forecast of the impact of the different policy
measures.
• The goal of policy modelling, is to find a short-, medium- and long-term dynamic
equilibrium between policy decisions and civil society responses.
• Policy modelling should cover several areas, such as
– budgetary issues,
– administrative, public and constitutional law,
– data privacy, adoption of open source software, taxation, data privacy, interoperability,
– cross-border activities,
– energy, environment, and other non-pecuniary dimensions.
• Most challenging elements of policy modelling is to find the
– optimal portfolio among community and private engagement,
– making the right choices between the supply or demand driven development.
– good balance between the user absorption capacity and technology-driven
development of information service penetration.
