[governance] Help European govts embrace Web 2.0!

[Eric Dierker]

I am really quite humored by the corporate and governent mentality that sees cost savings in going "online" with everything. Obviously in some circumstances it is good to automate activity and preserve resources, improve efficiency, cut costs. But if we actually accept that as the norm and that there must be an exception to do something in person, oh my!!

Roland and all,

  Very good point here.  Well done Roeland!  As Paul has often
reminded and articulated in various terms to me regarding the
often errors of "The Machines", which can be interperted in various
ways of course, but none the less recognizes that despite programing
of "The Machines" programing errors are not always readily recognized
or even admitted.  Ergo other means of communicating to government
officials should remain open, and above all Transparent.
