Sounds interesting, but where is the submission? I found several 
mentions of it with a web search, but couldn't find the actual 
submission. AGIMO only seem to have provided summaries of the 
submissions in PDF and MS-Word format, which seems to miss the point 
of the exercise with "online" consultation.

Why should that be done for online consultation, if it isn't done 
normally? Where are  the official procedures for government 
consultation? Can't we just slip a section about on-line consultation 
into them?
