Control of politicians
— #12 Meetings of politicians in their office
A politician should, if possible, hold meetings in his/her official office. Since persons who attend the meeting usually have to go through the reception where their arrival and departure is registered, it would be possible to cross-check the data in electronic diary against the list of visitors.
If it was possible to check in this way if the information about the meetings in the deputy's office contained in the electronic public diary are accurate, it would not only increase the credibility of the contents of the diary, but also of politicians as such.
