*** Democracies Online Newswire - http://www.e-democracy.org/do *** This Tuesday (Feb 13) in London the NetPolitics Happy Hour will be the place to be. Over 30 RSVPs received. Join us at 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. per this message: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/do-wire/message/796 (The NetPolitics event last night in Berlin went very well with lots of interest in building a group to organize future networking events. Watch DO-WIRE for updates.) I will now also be giving a small public informal presentation at 3:00 p.m. on the same day (Tuesday) in the parliamentary offices. I'll share details on Web White & Blue which hosted the first U.S. presidential online debate. Check out the archive at http://www.webwhiteblue.org. The structured online candidate debate model might be something to adapt for a candidate or all-party debate in your country, state, or community. Minnesota E-Democracy is getting ready for its own Mayoral E-Debates in St. Paul and perhaps Minneapolis this spring. **** Please RSVP by the end of work day on Monday if you want the full details on the WWB talk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Call me U.S. home number which will forward to my cell phone in Europe if you need to reach me 1-612-822-8667). Also, my next European speaking trip is fast approaching. I'll be the featured guest of First Tuesday Brussels on Tuesday, March 6 and give a more formal presentation on E-Democracy and Interactivity with a special focus on WWB.
