and can simplify electronic interaction of these bodies with the private and
corporate sectors, because this form of document authenticity is mainly used
in corporate systems of private sector.
The electronic document use in transborder exchange of information is the
issue of the day. The transborder dialogue in electronic form is provided on
the basis of bilateral agreements with some states. Meanwhile, one should
have regional and international agreements of wider plan possibly on the
basis of corresponding conventions of the European Union and United Na-
tions Organization. The important progress in this sphere is realized with the
creation of Customs Union of the States participants UIS (Union of Inde-
pendent States) – Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Byelorussia. At present
the work for formation of the common economic space with the States of
UIS is carrying out.
III. Normative regulation of information technologies using in the gov-
ernance
There is a whole block of the legislation in the information sphere in Russia.
Laws regulate the general questions of information, activities of Mass media,
use of electronic technologies in public and private sectors. Recently, the
special direction of the standard registration of information technologies in

A. Transparency of the information about the Public Governance
One of the main qualitative characteristics of the governance process is its
openness and transparency. It is especially important while the modern State
transforms and public functions and their subjects change, the social respon-
sibility is also being redistributed between public and private sectors. Now it
is important to control not only the result, but also the process itself.
In developed democratic societies this postulate often becomes the constitu-
tional principle and it is not being doubted. If there is more transparency in
the governance process, the much more opportunities for civil society insti-
tutes to take part in this process, and it is easier to avoid unjustified failures
and deviations including corruption. Accordingly, the governance transpar-
ency gives evidence of the activity of concrete functionaries and reduces
corruption possibilities.
In general, it would be useful to confirm as a standard the principle of public-
ity and the transparency of State authority’s and local authority’s activities. It
is desirable that new Federal Law on public authorities should be adopted in
Russia where the principle like this one would be in its place. At present, the
