Today, at 1.00 pm, a meeting of the expert working group of the federal level will begin in the building of the Government House, devoted to the consideration of the first petition, which has collected the necessary 100,000 signatures on the
ROI portal:
“The ban on officials and employees of companies with state (municipal) participation to buy cars worth more than 1.5 million rubles.”
')
This petition was filed by Alexei Navalny, a recent candidate for the post of mayor of Moscow, and collected the necessary number of votes on July 10. But it will be considered on the last day when the experts on regulations will be obliged to give a decision on the essence of the initiative. Indeed, in accordance with
Presidential Decree No. 183 of March 4, 2013 “On consideration of public initiatives sent by citizens of the Russian Federation using the Internet resource Russian Public Initiative,” the working group should prepare an expert opinion within a period not exceeding 2 months from the end of the collection of signatures.
Thus, the fate of the first petition, which has passed all the necessary procedures and regulations, will be decided today.
In many ways, the outcome of the discussion and the final decision of the experts will depend on the public perception of both the ROI portal itself and the institution of public initiatives in our country.
How important and relevant for the state will be the opinion of the Internet public who has expressed and won the necessary number of votes at the site represented by the state itself?
But the
petition on the abolition of 187-FZ (the law against the Internet), which was also
posted on the ROI portal and
gained 100 thousand signatures a month ago, will not be considered at this meeting, although there were repeated statements from members of the expert committee that the decision will be made at the end of August / beginning of September.
The composition of the expert working group was approved by the relevant
government decree , and Mikhail Abyzov, the Minister of Open Government, was appointed as its head.
The composition was also given
in this post on Habré .
The agenda of the meeting of the expert committee is presented on the following pages of the document that was sent to its members:

From the Regulations of the work of the expert working group of the federal level:“The meeting of the working group is considered valid
if more than half of its members are present . Members of the working group
participate in its meeting in person .
The decisions of the working group
are made by a majority vote of its members present at the meeting, drawn up by the protocol, which is approved by the head of the working group.
In the event that a member of the working group
does not agree with her decision, he
may express a written opinion in writing .
In case of equality of votes, the
vote of the head of the working group is decisive . ”
By the way, there is an incident in the working group’s regulations, which contradicts the Presidential Decree:
“According to the results of consideration of the public initiative, the working group in the period not exceeding 2 months, prepares an expert opinion and decision on the development of the relevant regulatory legal act and (or) taking other measures to implement the initiative.”
Thus, in this case, an expert opinion can be given only 4 months after the end of the collection of signatures for the petition, which is 2 times longer than the time limit for the preparation of this document imposed by the President of Russia.The full text of the document sent out to the members of the expert group before the meeting
can be found here .
How the meeting of the working group will be held and its outcome - there will be updates in this topic.
