Post in In the service of democracy - What impact did the first e-democracy.gov.uk have?
(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. Steven Clift E-Democracy.Org DoWire.Org P.S.
