Description
Summary:It is a quarter century since I began telling my Administrative Law students that they had better be watching the Internet and how agencies of interest to them were using it, as they entered an Information Age career. The changes since then have been remarkable. Rulemaking, where the pace has perhaps been slowest, is now accelerating into the Internet, driven by a President committed to openness and consultation. This paper seeks little more than to point the reader toward the places where she can find the changes and watch them for herself. Il y a un quart de siècle que j’ai commencé à dire à mes étudiants en droit administratif qu’ils feraient bien de surveiller l’Internet et comment les agences qui les intéressent s’en servent, au moment où ils entreprenaient une carrière à l’ère de l’information. Les changements depuis lors ont été remarquables. L’élaboration de règles, où l’évolution a peut-être été la plus lente, s’accélère maintenant à l’Internet, mené par un Président qui s’est engagé à l’ouverture et à la consultation. Cet article ne vise pas plus que d’indiquer à la personne qui le lit les endroits où elle peut trouver les changements et les surveiller pour ellemême.
