| 38 | Raul Espejo | Alfonso, please, can you offer a brief illustration of the issues raised by your statement? |
| 54 | Alfonso Reyes | Some forms of E-government may be a particular instance of this statement. People having access to express their opinions though the Web regarding local government matters may trigger in them new ways of political participation. In the private sector, the use of the Internet to spread public concerns against buying some products is arising a new way of public pressure demanding for accountability to some companies. |
| 64 | Pete Barnsley | Alfonso talks of 'new ways'. Perhaps there are no new ways. Perhaps it is old ways in new clothes. ICTs only change the how not the why. |
