Editorial Information Polity 11 (2006) 1–2 IOS Press This first issue of the 11 th volume of Information Polity provides an eclectic mix of articles that range across the governmental and democratic interests of the journal.

This is precisely what this journal aims to achieve – the publication of high quality scholarly writing that works with issues that are current and examines them in ways that provide clarity, new thinking and new evidence. Thus we include articles that cover National ID cards, open source software, democratic enhancement and the delivery of high quality telecommunications infrastructure.
