Hearing at the control and consultation booth: signs of a participatory process
In the April newsletter we hoped that the acknowledgment from Mario Calderini on the importance of the Consulta Permanente dell'Innovazione and the Association as a relevant stakeholder for the elaboration process of the Digital Agenda would be supported by facts. And a first fact we can say that has materialized, with the participation of the Association in the hearing organized by the "E-government and open data" working group of the Control Room. Audition which turned out to be not a simple act of listening, but a first moment of effective participation (http://goo.gl/zEVxH).
Another fact will materialize shortly, with the next council meeting, tentatively set for June 5 (note the date, the participation it's important!), which we are trying to organize for an entire day and segmented by topics, in order to allow the involvement of the various members of the working groups of the Control room, a wider one participation and a greater chance of intervention compared to the first meeting. Immediately after Forum PA, and following the round tables envisaged there on the Digital Agenda, we will open discussion forums on our website, in order to better prepare the meeting of the Consulta.
This month's budget records the presentation to the Senate of our
first eBook "Let's put the future of the country on the agenda" (http://goo.gl/zbQJC), participation in the event ”Open Opportunity Meeting 2012” (http://goo.gl/c6Pgb or http://www.openopportunity.it/home) and at the Conference “CNA NeXT Tuscany 2012” (http://goo.gl/D2hFM or http://www.cnanext.it/). Events that continue to characterize us on the double national-local dimension and that allow us to continue in the closely related activities of elaborating proposals and comparing them on the territory.
The month of April also brought with it the news of the suspension of the route AGCOM for the implementation of the regulation, which is a important result achieved also thanks to the commitment of ours and other associations. So, once again, determination pays off and, for those who set themselves ambitious goals, like all of us, this is essential.
