Discussions
| NIFO Community - updates for your country |
| The NIFO Community aims at regularly updating the information regarding interoperability in each country. What are the main events you identify as triggering the update of the analytical model? Is it, for example, the definition of a new eGovernment Action Plan? How often do you estimate that an update of the analytical model can be done for your country? The current process for collecting information uses the analytical model spreadsheet and email discussions. Would you consider/prefer a direct access to the model which would allow the Member States to update the information on the NIFO community themselves? If so, for which type of information? Is it the data for evaluating the implementation? Please provide your views and experience. |
