What we need to do on Ideal Government is to set out what our requirements are for better e-enabled government.

One particular example is what we want from identity systems for an e-enabled world. I’d ask to Home Office (with which I’ve failed to engage to date) to say whether they’ll take on board that there are privacy-friendly alternatives to achieving the underlying objectives of an efficient e-enabled society. And I’d ask all those who wear a no2id T-shirt with pride to spell out, well, Yes2what?
