Author: Yang Kang (DP)
Sponsors: Susilo Sri (UCP), Zhang Xiaoqing (SP), Joseph Yu (UCP), Floortje Cheung (UCP), Yazhu Zhang (DP)
An act to digitize the Bandurian state
BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED, as follows:
§1 - Digital Signatures
- Physical ID cards are to be paired with digital signatures (Digital ID). Digital signatures (Digital ID) will be mandatory for every adult Bandurian citizen.
- The digital signature shall:
- be used to pay taxes, authenticate transactions with the government, do online banking and access health care records
- be legally equivalent to manual signature
- be used to pay taxes, authenticate transactions with the government, do online banking and access health care records
- Each person will be provided a client certificate, to make the digital ID compatible with standard X.509 and TLS infrastructure.
- The system will be accessed only through a highly encrypted end-to-end, two-factor authorization system, which will be accessible only with a digital ID or ID card. Only people authorized by the person owning the data can access their personal data.
§2 - Digital Administration
- A 'gov.rb' website shall be established as a public sector information website to provide a single point of access of all Bandurian government services. The website will replace the individual websites of hundreds of government departments and public bodies, and the URLs of all government departments shall be redirected to that new website.
- All government/public sector departments that do not have a web platform, will be given a timeline of six months to build one. Those web platforms shall have their URLs stored in gov.rb, for easy access by the citizens.
- Gov.rb will be using a simple search engine-like interface to tie the government's vast portfolio of websites together and allow easy access to them by the citizens.
- Gov.rb and all government web platforms shall be available in all relevant Bandurian languages.
- The government will be making use of free open source software, such as GNU/Linux.
- Civil servants will have to undertake a mandatory one-month digital course to familiarize themselves with digital administration.
- All interactions between citizens and the public sector will be available online: all departmental paperwork will be digitized (PDF, Word) and use of digital ID will mean that no physical presence at any department will be required. However, adequate physical offices shall still be maintained and shall serve those who are unable to use online services.
- Gov.rb and all its services will be also available on a single mobile phone app: 'Band-Gov App'. This will allow easy access to all government services through mobile phones.
§3 - Digital Education
- A voucher shall be offered to Bandurian adult citizens who wish to take up digital education courses. The voucher shall apply only for government-verified instructors.
- Every classroom will be required to have at least one computer. Schools that cannot afford to do so, shall receive the necessary government funding.
- 'Digital Education' will become a lesson in all high-school classes of Banduria: the lesson will familiarize Bandurian children with digital skills necessary in the new globalized, digital economy.
