This study aims to provide enhanced management strategies for information disclosure deliberative committees in the Government 3.0 era. It confirms that there has been no progress on the committees' management since the implementation of the Government 3.0 policies. On the contrary, certain retrogression aspect on the committees have been discussed. The study suggests the four alternative strategies as follows: First, the committees should be held regularly and exercise their authority for referring to discussion. Second, it must be configured that outside committee members are more than internal committee members. Also, there should not be any restriction so that external members can be a chairman. Third, the committee meetings should be in the face-to-face form in principle. The documentary deliberation could only be allowed if issues are repeated and they are similar. For this type of deliberation, the procedure and schedule should be established and complied to. Fourth, for the effective operation of the information disclosure system, department and staffing in charge are required.

This study analyzed whether the difference in the management and rulings of the information disclosure deliberative committees (IDDCs) is between the central agency and the local agency. This study found that first, the IDDC of the local agency had a more desirable meeting format and committee composition than that of the central agency. However, there were less differences in the IDCC rulings between the two agencies. Second, the IDDCs of the central agency and the local agency were influenced by different factors. Third, the change of the political regime strongly influenced the IDDCs meeting format and rulings in the central government. However, it rarely influenced the IDDCs of the local government. A comparative analysis showed that there were differences in the management and rulings of the IDDCs between the central agency and the local agency. With these findings, the study concluded that the IDDCs of the two agencies need to be approached differently.

The purpose of this study is to discuss problems and seek improvement plans based on a critical analysis of the detailed standards for nondisclosure of 19 administrative departments in accordance with Article 26 of the Government Organization Act. To this end, the status of information disclosure-related regulations in 19 administrative departments was analyzed, and 6,094 cases of nondisclosed information were investigated and analyzed. In addition, through interviews with seven information disclosure experts, the analysis contents of this study were shared and reviewed. Furthermore, opinions on the effectiveness, problems, and system improvement areas of the detailed standards for nondisclosed information were collected. As a conclusion, three improvement measures were proposed: first, the legislation on the establishment of detailed standards for nondisclosure; second, the establishment of a system for regular substantive inspection of detailed standards for nondisclosure; and third, the improvement in the service of detailed standards for nondisclosure.

It is principle that the National Assembly Minutes are open to the general public based on the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. However, it will not be released to the public when the minutes are produced at a meeting held privately -the closed minutes- and the parts of the minutes are not published because of 'the demands on keeping confidential of the Chairman of the National Assembly or needs for the National Security' based on the National Assembly Act article 118 clause 1. These two minutes infringe the democratic rights, the public's rights to know seriously by reason that there are no procedures to disclose to the public. Especially the non-published parts of the minutes are highly likely in breach of the constitution. This paper will deal with the regulations and guidelines related to the disclosure of the closed minutes focusing on the United States and the United Kingdom where developing countries on the parliamentary democracy. Then, it is suggested placing an emphasis on the legal aspects that the plans to make public of the closed minutes and non published parts of the minutes based on the reviewed results of the committee of the National Assembly Archives and the initiative proposed by the member of the National Assembly, Jung Chang-rae in the last 2004.

The release of administrative information has been the challenge of our age following the maturation of democratic ideology in our society. However, differences of opinion and conflict still exist between the government and private sectors regarding the issue, and it seems that the technical and policy-related insufficiencies of information and record management that actually operate the release of information are the main causes. From the perspective of records management, records or information are variable in their nature, value, and influence during their life span. The most controversial issue is the records and information in the current stage of carrying out business activities. This is because the records and information pertaining to finished business are but evidence to ascertain the past, and have only a limited relationship to the ideal of the 'democratic participation' by citizens in activities of the public sector. The current information release policies are helpless against the 'absence of information,' or incomplete records, but such weakness can be supplemented by enforcing record management policies that make obligatory the recording of all details of business activities. In addition, it is understood that the installation of 'document offices("Jaryogwan")' that can manage each organization's information and records will be an important starting point to integrate the release, management, and preservation of information and records. Nevertheless, it seems that the concept of 'release' in information release policies refers not to free use by all citizens but is limited to the 'provision' of records according to public requests, and the concept of 'confidential' refers not to treating documents with total secrecy but varies according to the particulars of each situation, making the actual practice of information release difficult. To solve such problems, it is absolutely necessary to collect the opinions of various constituents associated with the recorded information in question, and to effectively mediate the collective opinions and the information release requests coming from applicants, to carry out the business more practically. Especially crucial is the management of the process by which the nature and influence of recorded information changes, so that information which has to be confidential at first may become available for inquiry and use over time through appropriate procedures. Such processes are also part of the duties that record management, which is in charge of the entire life span of documents, must perform. All created records will be captured within a record management system, and the record creation data thus collected will be used as a guide for inquiry and usage. With 'document offices(Jaryogwan)' and 'archives' controlling the entire life span of records, the release of information will become simpler and more widespread. It is undesirable to try to control only through information release policies those records the nature of which has changed because, unlike the ones still in the early stages of their life span and can directly influence business activities, their work has finished, and they have become historical records or evidences pointing to the truth of past events. Even in the past, when there existed no formal policy regarding the release of administrative information, the access and use of archival records were permitted. A more active and expanded approach must be taken regarding the 'usage' of archival records. If the key factor regarding 'release' lies in the provision of information, the key factor regarding 'usage' lies in the quality and level of the service provided. The full-scale usage of archival records must be preceded by the release of such records, and accordingly, a thorough analysis of the nature, content, and value of the records and their changes must be implemented to guarantee the release of information before their use is requested. That must become a central task of document offices and "Today's information" will soon become "yesterday's records," and the "reality" of today will become "history" of the past. The policies of information release and record management share information records as their common objective. As they have a mutual relationship that is supplementary and leads toward perfection, the two policies must both be differentiated and integrated with each another. It is hoped that the policies and business activities of record management will soon become normalized and reformed for effective and fair release of information.
