adapted to the characteristics of the projects that the policy plan intends to implement in achieving its objectives.
Figure 5 provides an example of the process for selecting impact measurement indicators in the case of policy guideline dealing with the development of ICT network for all in the regional territory. This guideline is mainly aimed at:“ completing the broadband in the whole region” and“ providing of equal condition of connectivity for all citizens2( Carbone, 2012).

During the PiTER modelling phase, per each objective of the plan, the governance structure of PiTER defined the set of measurement criteria to be used which have then been specified in the data gathering template to help stakeholders identifying which combination of policy guideline‐line objectives‐criteria better matches their project idea( see also figure 4, left side).
This matching process was based upon a series of interactions amongst the project proposers and the governance structure of PiTER, creating a participatory process for the construction of the implementation plan, during the duration of this consultation process( September – December 2011) exvhanging and discussing on the basis of quantitative and qualitative data about the project.
Table 3 provides some evidences of such participation for the year 2012 when eGEP‐2.0 has been applied for the first time to the whole decision‐making process of PiTER( 2011‐2013). Its application not only has allowed to speed up the yearly ex‐ante evaluation process of at least six months in comparison to previous adopted methodologies, but it has also allowed to assess 34 projects, with a degree of coverage of the policy plan objectives of PiTER close to 90 %. Moreover the eGEP‐2.0 model has also allowed achieving consensus among main e‐Government actors of the Emilia‐Romagna region upon about 100 assessment indicators, which in average terms means about 3 indicators for each policy implementation project or above 4 indicators for each policy objective.
