內部事務資訊的確立、運用和發展

內部事務資訊與過程性資訊從有“名不正”之嫌到正式列入免除公開事項，源於契合國際慣例和保護行政有效運轉利益的考量。然而，大量案例表明，“內部事務”與“過程性”本身指向籠統，涵蓋性極廣，內部事務資訊與過程性資訊相互勾連交織，難以有效區分，有必要進行重新界定。內部事務資訊應限縮並更名為“純行政內部資訊”，主要指技術性、細節性資訊，不公開的理由在於與公共利益、特定公民組織利益關係不大。過程性資訊應為“機關及其人員的評價性資訊”，公開將有損於行政內部有效交流和決定品質。

The internal affairs information and process information, developed from the misnomer to formal nondisclosure information, lay in the considerations of consistency with international practice and protection of effective administrative operation. However, a number of cases shows that ''internal affairs'' and ''process'' are ambiguous and broad, and that both kinds of information are interwoven and hard to distinguish each other. So it is necessary to redefine them. The internal affairs information should be restricted and renamed to ''solely internal affairs information'', mainly covering the routine or trivial information that they could not be subject to a genuine and significant public or private interest. Process information should be evaluation information of administrative agency and its employees which disclosure prejudices the free and frank exchange of views for the purposes of deliberation and quality of decisions.
