Under the leadership of Shipov the regulatory legal acts regulating interdepartmental electronic interaction, quality requirements of providing state services, a possibility of the appeal of actions of officials and their depremirovaniye were developed.

To officials who directly contact to citizens (issue references, leave with check and so on), special requirements should be imposed. Their work can be estimated regarding compliance to standards of provision of services. Therefore it is quite possible to apply the method connected with encouragement or, on the contrary, a depremirovaniye based on work to such category of officials. I think, this issue will be resolved in each authority differently, but we will offer the general approaches. Rules at which violation the bonus level automatically decreases should be registered, - Shipov in an interview to the Izvestia newspaper in March, 2011 said[1]

He considered development of the electronic government irreversible process:

Any innovations directed to increase in openness of authorities are unprofitable to bureaucracy. From this point of view we constantly feel counteraction on our work connected with quality improvement of providing state services, optimization of control and supervising activity of authorities. Naturally, and on electronic services the same problem exists. On the other hand, we already in that situation when implementation of the electronic government is an irreversible process. It can go somewhere more slowly, somewhere quicker, but it goes. And this is important
