IPM (software) explained

The Interactive Policy Making, or IPM, is an online opinion poll management system launched in 2001,[1] which is used to gather the opinion of European Union citizens and entreprises regarding policy development.[2] The software is part of the Interactive Policy Making Initiative and is made of various modules which assist in the creation of such questionnaires - including a creation, translation, test, launch and analysis module.[3] [4] [5] [6]

History

The European Commission started using the system at the end of 2001, and introduced it to the public through the "Your Voice in Europe" program.[7]

In 2002, prior to the launch of the top-level domain .eu, the European Commission used IPM to gather the opinion of companies regarding cybersquatting.[8]

In 2006, the European Commission released IPM OSS, an open source version of the software aimed at companies and private organizations.[5] [9]
