See you in London. Steven Clift Democracies Online ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Crabtree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [do-london] UK NetPolitics Happy Hour UK NetPolitics Happy Hour 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 13 (Details Below) Politics Online: Lessons from America and Prospects for the UK For those interested or involved in online campaigning and advocacy, new media political coverage, e-government and e-democracy in general Steve Clift of http://www.publicus.net, one of America's leading experts on e-democracy, will be in London on the Tuesday February 13th. We have organised a NetPolitics Happy Hour, with drinks and discussion in a private room in a pub in Westminster, on that evening. Steve is keen to meet people in the UK who are interested in the effect the internet will have on politics. It will be, as they say in the USA, non-partisan. In particular, we wanted to look at: * Lessons from Election 2000 * The impact the Net will have during the UK General Election * Strategies for building on-line participation in the UK. It will be informal but interesting, and I thought you might be interested in coming along. Also, I'm keen to get a good turnout so please do pass this on to others you think might be interested. We hope to meet everyone working on Internet news and campaign efforts related to our upcoming election. Steve is also considering a presentation on the first U.S. Presidential online debate <http://www.webwhiteblue.org> that he was directly involved with the same day around 3 p.m.. To receive an announcement on that event, join his e-mail contact group for the London-area: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For info on some other of Steve's projects check out: http://www.e-democracy.org/do/ http://www.publicus.net/ebook/ Details: 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Lessons from U.S. campaign 2000 and the Internet around 6 p.m. Upstairs Room The Morpeth Arms (http://www.pubs.com/morpsw1.htm) 58 Millbank Westminster Nearest Tube: Pimlico or Westminster RSVP if you feel like it <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, otherwise just turn up.
