Dear UX Editors,

ELMER has been selected as a finalist to the European eGovernment Awards 2009 in Malmö, Sweden (http://www.epractice.eu/awards). An article by Tor Nygaard in your issue on Form Design (User Experience Magazine, Volume 8, Issue 2) titled

“The ELMER Experience: A Standard for Government Forms” was based on this project.

The author of the article would like your permission to use it as a handout to the participants. The conference will be attended by approximately 1,000 participants.

Yours sincerely,

–Marita Hauglid
