Metrics to judge local e-democracy

I'd add some suggestions:
* Performance information provided in traditional (annual report) and raw data
forms, for reanalysis by 3rd parties
* Provision of local mapping information relevant for local organizations
* Clearly articulated policy development and implementation process provided
online in plain lanugage
* Meaningful organizational structure information provided
* Ability to subscribe / track policy issues and project and be notified in a
timely manner of changes in their status
* Hooks (technical and or administrative) into information system by local
interest groups which represent the community
For what they're worth,
Peter

OK, how about others?
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?
