Thank you.

OK.

I’m quite impressed that you mentioned that you are only digital minister and you always will be.

OK, the last one. Someday, the time will come after the digital minister. What is your future plan? Do you have any plan for the after the digital minister?

She wants to know what’s the role of the Youth Council?

If, actually, we can reach to the people’s opinion, it involves someone who using the platform. Someone who is not using the platform, how do you approach to them? What is your strategy to meet them?

Jennifer watched some interview video of you that you were telling that you want to put everyone, every Taiwanese opinions and thought on the system, meaning put on the PDIS or PO. It’s a little bit hard, because the…

Wow. That was quite great perspective for the future. The last questions.

Do you think, the IT technology can be used to create an inclusive society, based on your experience, and then your thought?

Oh, OK.

So far, what was your biggest challenges, you’ve done these kind of experiments?

Now, this is more about the personal aspect of, and then as a digital minister, what is your future plan? You have done a lot of things so far. Also, I’m just curious, is there any, your future plan that you want to do as a digital minister?

How do you think Taiwan’s the same, like people tend to argue, not like exchange opinion?

In Korea, because Korea, we also have a very active online activity, people wants to speak up their opinion about the political issue, or also, the political conflict. They are more intent to not choose their side and then argue, not like a compromise, exchange their opinion, and wants to ...

Also, is there some successful cases you wanted to introduce that conducted by the PO?

Yeah. [laughs] I’m pretty sure Jennifer experienced the same…Jennifer has the same experience with our government, because she is the first member who opened the government.

Like you explained before, there are lots of civilian expert working with you and your colleagues in the other project. They work together. How do they cooperate?

Yeah, I can hear you. Welcome back.

Hello. You’re back.

Do you have any meaningful project for you done by the PDIS?

Then all the members are, as you imagine, that they are from the other ministries?

How long has PDIS been run?

It sounds like you’re a mediator, with using the IT magic things.

Wow. That’s quite amazing one week. [laughs] How about the Wednesday? Is there usually a full book?

Yeah, yeah.

I’m sorry. The sound’s a little bit disconnected.

That is OK. [laughs]

Would you briefly introduce your daily routine as digital minister?

That means that you must be really, really busy because you have to meet a lot of people, you have to arrange, and also you have to recommend the best solution they can use.

First for us, what is your key role as digital minister? That is quite a new concept to us, digital minister.

That’s the brief introduction about that. The questionnaire that I sent you this morning, we’ll just follow the questionnaire. Is it OK for you?

Part of that for Jennifer, she’s doing research about how the IT technology can help the democracy move to the next level, how we can gather others’ opinions, how we can use them when we make a policy decision, and how can we use them to do policy changes?

OK. Before we start the interview, I will briefly introduce the purpose of this research. This research is actually conducted by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in Korea for the building of future policy.

We are personally very interested about you and what you’ve been doing for years.

We’ve done lots of the open data in our open government activity, too.
