It is expected that use of Active-X will be gradually minimized and instead the web standard HTML5 will be widespread; therefore, the environment for service use should be improved by removing Active-X.; Main Objective: To enhance accessibility to public services by improving service environment through innovations like helping administrative and public institutions remove Active-X from their websites and apply alternative technologies.; Brief Description of Commitment: In order to first remove Active-X in citizen services, the government plans to remove 3,321 Active-X’s from 1,638 websites in 2016, making the share of Active-X free websites reach 88.1%, and remove 2,161 from the remaining 844 websites by 2017, reaching 95.1%. Active-X in websites for government’s internal use will be also gradually removed for improvement.
