Full title: "Public, electronic petition and citizen participation" project conducted by the Office of Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag (TAB)Aims:
The TAB study will address the Petitions Committees's concrete need for consultation, and thereby make a contribution to improving the existing system of public petitions, In addition, relevant, comprehensive TA questions will be dealt with, concerning the suitability of the technical-organisational solution, the reaction of technological innovation to the existing systems, the observation of costs and benefits as well as the consideration of unintentional consequences. International perspectives will be taken into account.
Description:
<p>The Petitions Committee of the German Bundestag launched a two-year public petition pilot scheme in September 2005. Public petitions can be submitted via the Internet, published in the World Wide Web, signed by other interested citizens as well as discussed in an electronic forum. The function of adding signatures as well as that of expressing opinions in the discussion forum is well used, sometimes by thousands of citizens. The Petitions Committee requires a methodically secure, independent scientific evaluation of the existing public petitions pilot scheme.</p>
