摘要： “过程性信息不公开条款”逐渐成为政府信息例外不公开的第三条款。在这一条款的适用中，人们常常错误地将政府信息等同于行政决策或行政决定，将政府信息的制作或获取过程等同于行政决策或行政决定的作出过程，从而将行政决策或行政决定作出之前制作或获取的信息全部认定为过程性信息。过程性信息实质上指尚未制作完成的非正式、不完整因而不具有使用价值的信息，它仅着眼于每个政府信息自身的形成状态而非行政决策或行政决定的全过程。“过程性”这一概念并未准确反映这种信息的本质，应以“未制成”代之。

Abstract: The article of procedural information remaining closure is gradually becoming the third legal basis for exception to the government information disclosure. While this article being applied, government information has usually been misunderstood as administrative decisions, and the process of making government information has been misunderstood as the process of making administrative decisions. Consequently, a lot of government information made or obtained before the administrative decisions has been regarded as procedural information and excluded from disclosure, which has unreasonably hindered citizens from obtaining government information. In fact, procedural information refering to gorernment information is still developing and undone. Once completed, the information shall be regarded as developed or finished and shall be disclosed.

Key words: Disclosure of Information, Procedural Information, Incomplete Information, Exemption to Disclosure.
