Some countries have an e-minister.
The move was spurred by Prime Minister Mart Laar's move from Toompea Castle, on the cobblestoned heights of Tallinn's medieval Old Town, to new working quarters in nearby Stenbock House. Seven months on, the innovation has cut ministerial session times from an average of 90 minutes to one hour and, coupled with the use of digital signatures on official documents, has virtually eliminated paperwork. Ministers scan and prepare material electronically, check daily agendas at the click of a mouse, and even participate in meetings from remote locations. Even in Soviet times, the country prided itself on its image as a Western-style enclave more attuned to the sensibilities of European neighbours like Finland than to those of Russia to the east. What we attempt to say is that the Internet is a working tool.
