I need a survey ready to use where I can probe representatives or senates opinions regarding the contribution of technology in Parliament activities. Ready surveys will be cited. Resources (I mean articles) will also be appreciated
Multi-option preferential voting, with MPs casting their preferences on their smart phones - see http://voting.aphelion.ie - so to identify the collective will of parliament, i.e., the option with the highest average preference. This methodology, the Modified Borda Count, MBC, is non-majoritarian. It caters for the end of majority rule, and instead, all-party coalitions, governments of national unity, just the sort of thing which is now needed in Syria, Ukraine and other conflict zones.

A second activity is the matrix vote, a methodology by which a parliament can elect a government. Every MP can choose, in order of preference, not only those whom he/she wants to be in cabinet, but also the ministries in which he/she wishes each of these nominees to serve. The matrix vote is PR, so the outcome would be a power-sharing cabinet in which, individually, each minister is the one most suited to his/her appointment, while collectively, the government represents the parliament in proportional due.

Thank you Dr. Emerson, we are trying to sum up more types. The voting system is a major activity within the domain, still, we have consultations, communications and collaborations on other issues. It is good to hear what people think of e-parliament...
My work on developing a Tribal E-government initiative: a program to unite all General Council and Tribal members regardless of logistics by video conferencing of governmental meetings, document sharing, and e-voting. The purpose of this program is to increase Tribal cohesiveness and unity through increased Tribal government access and participation, which will provide enculturation and acculturation for Tribal members to establish personal identity, enhance spirituality, promote Tribal unity, and empower the membership and their Tribal government to be successful in the modern world in which they were planted in a person-centered manner.
Program development within the community should be citizen based, which will reaffirm a positive individual Tribal identification and strengthen the Tribe. Social benefits include enhancement of well-being and awareness of each Tribal member, provide enculturation and acculturation, professional development, increased access to governmental processes and information, increased community skills and knowledge, new business and work opportunities, improved service delivery, cost reduction, improved internal and business processes, Tribal history preservation, quorum quota, citizen-centered whole government speed and efficiency, transparency and accountability, increased esteem and trust of elected officials, and increased Tribal economic development.
Some references I have found from my work on our Tribal E-government initiatives:
