It is hoped that we as a research group will be able to put forward statements which can be read cohesively as a group.

The ICT material is on pages 41-51.]

The Draft Digital Strategy 2.0 was released for public comment today. It is a key step in the refresh of the 2005 Digital Strategy, with a final updated Digital Strategy 2.0 expected to be released mid year.

This is an opportunity for all interested New Zealanders to have their say, and inform priorities and actions shaping New Zealand's digital future.

The Draft Digital Strategy 2.0 is about taking the next step into New Zealand's digital future. The digital environment is rapidly changing, and it is now timely to review where we have come from and where we are going as a nation, so that New Zealand can achieve its digital potential.

It is now time to think differently and collectively about the kinds of community, environmental and economic outcomes New Zealand wants from the use of digital technology in the future, and how they can be achieved.

So have your say - we need your ideas and want to hear about how you can contribute to New Zealand achieving its digital potential.

Please note that submissions close at 5.00pm, Monday 12 May 2008.

If you have any queries please email comments@digitalstrategy.govt.nz.
