Clerk's rule stirs debate in Orange
By Anthony Colarossi
Attempting to comply with a Florida Supreme Court order, Orange County Clerk
Lydia Gardner is requiring everyone who asks for a public record to provide
specific details about the documents in writing.
Forms for the public-records requests, which were first distributed early
last week, also ask for the requestor's signature, but Gardner's office said
Monday that no one is being required to attach a name to a public-records
request.

Lack Of Planning, Oversight Blamed For Millions In State IT Losses
By BOB LEWIS Associated Press Writer
(AP) - A lack of planning, oversight and funding for state government
information technology projects costs Virginia tens of millions of dollars in
project failures and cost overruns, according to a legislative report
released Monday. A study of 15 major state computer systems projects by the
Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission found that some of the failed
projects were launched lacking a clear
vision of functions the system would perform. The failures cost the state $75
million.

E-Gov Law to Promote Cyber-Collaboration
By Caron Carlson
President Bush signed into law the "E-Government Act of 2002" Monday,
establishing a framework for information security standards and programs, and
codifying the federal government's commitment to delivering its services
online.
The act was crafted to improve information services management and promote
collaboration of IT projects among the myriad federal agencies. It creates an
Office of E-Government within the White House Office of Management and
Budget, designed to encourage an atmosphere of accountability with regard to
online government services. Additionally, it establishes a board that will
select technologies to promote collaboration and a program to assess and
finance emerging anti-terrorism technologies.

+ Vanishing Act: The U.S. Government's Disappearing Data
by Marylaine Block, Guest Writer
More than any other country, the U.S. government has used the web to make a
wealth
of information available to its citizens. But as we are now discovering, the
dark side of web-based information is the ease with which it can be deleted.
Government-sponsored (which is to say, taxpayer-funded) information and
research is
disappearing from government web sites, much of it in the name of national
security.

Going Electronic, Denver Reveals Long-Term Surveillance
By FORD FESSENDEN with MICHAEL MOSS
DENVER, Dec. 14 — The Denver police have gathered information on unsuspecting
local activists since the 1950's, secretly storing what they learned on
simple index cards in a huge cabinet at police headquarters.
When the cabinet filled up recently, the police thought they had an easy
solution.
For $45,000, they bought a powerful computer program from a company called
Orion Scientific Systems. Information on 3,400 people and groups was
transferred to software that stores, searches and categorizes the data.
