All posts in the topic In the service of democracy - What impact did the first e-democracy.gov.uk have? (Short link)

(For Newswire@ members who want to discuss this, see:
http://groups.dowire.org )

I recently bumped into a fairly complete WayBack archive of the original
http://www.e-democracy.gov.uk site which included the UK Cabinet Office's
important "In the service of democracy" report and consultation.

The report's disappearance on the "surface web" is a real loss to e-democracy
builders around the world because no government before or since has
created such a collection of policy resources. The submissions from the
BBC and others (can't find them in the WayBack machine) were very
informative because they represented views of different "democratic"
interests in society staking their claim to certain responsibilities.

Anyway, I've uploaded with this message a couple of the main reports that I
found ifor the UKIE@ and Consult@ DoWire Groups in order to bring them
back to the surface for historical access.

I'd be interested in where people think we are now with e-democracy
after reading what was written in 2002.
