Agenda item

Members discussed proposed amendments to the current Members ICT Guidance and Internet Usage Policy, which would enable under usage of the Modern.Gov system and facilitate the provision of better services to Members and reduced print production and courier/postage costs. Proposed amendments would be taken with the annual report on Member remuneration in early 2016 for decision by Members. Members discussed their own experiences of using the iPads and the Modern.Gov application on the iPads.

Members felt the Members IT Reference Group was a valuable resource and felt it should be extended to a knowledge exchange or training session for other Members. Officers felt the IT Reference Group was a great place to gather feedback and test the Modern.Gov application and so on. Members suggested that training in E-Safety might be useful.
