European eParticipation Summary Report, Nov 2009
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/redirection.cfm?item_id=5670

"The European eParticipation study has demonstrated the considerable  
potential for eParticipation to change the broader interactions  
between citizens and governments. eParticipation can also improve the  
overall quality of engagement and decision-making whilst widening  
involvement of all citizens. Information and communication  
technologies are opening up new opportunities but also reveal new  
dangers. The report examines all these aspects and provides a coherent  
view of where Europe currently stands regarding eParticipation. It  
gives recommendations for future actions to the main actors focusing  
on the European level."
