the Establishment of a Digital Chamber —
Acting Secretary General of the National Assembly (Republic of Korea) I. Introduction Keeping abreast with the age of informatization, the Republic of Korea, a leading IT country, applied cutting-edge information technologies to the National Assembly and transformed it into a ‘Digital National Assembly’, thereby creating a complete ubiquitous environment and dramatically revamping the legislative support systems. The basis for the ‘Digital National Assembly’ has been laid by continuously making into a database all the laws enacted by the National Assembly; all the data on the legislative histories of bills, budget, and accounts; the content of pending bills; and also the minutes of all the meetings taking place in the National Assembly. Afterwards, the ‘Electronic Data Network’ has been established to enable high-speed electronic transfer of large files between the legislature and the executive, and the plenary and committees. In September 2005, the Korean National Assembly set up a ‘digital chamber’, the first of its kind in the world, which is the central pillar of the Digital National Assembly and since then has conducted meetings electronically including deliberating agenda and casting votes. By digitalizing the chamber, the proceedings have become more efficient and the members of parliament can now conveniently access diverse and accurate information regarding the agenda and focus more on the agenda itself and its deliberation. Furthermore, the ‘Internet Broadcasting System’ is set up to broadcast meetings live through the Internet and therefore to better serve people’s right to know. Such an IT-based digital system not only facilitates legislative activities of MPs but also allows MPs, government offices, and the public to swiftly and accurately exchange and utilize diverse and ample information required for legislation at anytime, anywhere. The system, therefore, is expected to enable the timely introduction of national policies and also to enhance political participation of the public. II. Digital Systems Installed in the Chamber 1.
