Metrics to judge local e-democracy From: Mick Date: Jul 30 07:48 UTC Short link
One thing I don't think has been mentioned is a measure of usage i.e. perhaps trust. Its great having loads of e-demo stuff but if nobody uses it because they fon't trust/accept/want it, what then? Therefor amount of usage against any input metric. Mick http://greatemancipator.com

Maybe active political bloggers?

On my list, a few items I'd measure: 1. All public meetings are announced online with agendas (1 point), minutes (1 point), and all handouts and staff reports (2 points, bonus point for online before a meeting). 2. All elected officials have full contact information, a photo, brief bio, and list of committees/roles as well as an e-mail address listed (bonus point), an optional web contact form, with -2 point if no e-mail address is listed publicly. 3. The public is invited to submit electronic testimony for at least 48 hours after an in-person meeting and this testimony is added to the website/meeting record. What about you?
