"The United Nations Joint Inspection Body recently spoke to web professional in 40 UN agencies to identify what the most common problems are and how to fixed them. The result is an impressive document that can be used by many non-profit organizations, NGOs, International Organizations and even government ministries and agencies to address similar problems in their own organization. The ”Review of Management of Internet Websites in the United Nations System Organizations“ (31 pages) focuses on website governance and strategy – and I still have to meet a web manager who doesn’t feel this could be improved."

I have to admit I find it a little funny that you think that they have so <em>many</em> issues. I actually think that it's quite refreshing that they were able to come up with with less than ten recommendations which should be adopted by the the UN agencies. After all, these agencies are so radically different in size and structure that I would expect them to have very different issues as well. That the inspectors were able to agree on eight recommendations that are required across the board gives them a lot of weight, in my opinion. Thanks Shane.

But kinda depressing that they have so many issues. (From experience, I know that UN peacekeepers would be helpful on many web teams for keeping different factions from tearing each other apart.) Globally though, it seems as if something is happening about governance. Over the past few years many long-standing issues of web development have been solved (or are being far better handled) including technology, design and content. Governance might at last be about to enter that hallowed state. It is good to know that they are taking web governance seriously. But kinda depressing that they have so many issues.
