participation and technology and innovation Who will be involved in the implementation of the commitment And what is hoped to achieved with the commitment

New ways of working

New roles of public servants Job description changes Open meetings and remote access (to consultations) Cooperation between government & citizens - new
kind of electronic platforms (citizen initiative) Clear responsibilities - no more "anonymous decision-
making” "Citizen juries" as a part of decision-making processes
14.11.201114.11.2011
Clear language Using clear understandable language – less jargon! Meaningful structures (e.g. websites) Use of plain text Crowdsourcing the issues and solutions of poor
language Data and process visualizations Clear language in a larger meaning: better
communication visualization of data.

theme
