I'll be in Australia for some work in just under a month. When the work is completed ... Democracies Online Happy Hour - Friday, November 19 --------------------------------------------------- Last time, DoWire members met in Melbourne and Canberra, this time it is Brisbane. If you like to join an informal gathering of the e-democracy interested, drop me an e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: Check out the online consultation platform in Queensland: http://www.getinvolved.qld.gov.au/consultonline/index.cfm Issues Forum Citizen Meeting? ----------------------------- At this point, I should have some time late afternoon on Friday, November 19 to meet with citizens interested in starting an Issues Forum for their local community. How about it, anyone interested in creating a many-to-many online space for citizen engagement for Brisbane or a neighboring community? E-mail me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if you can help organize a space and computer projector to share these slides: http://www.e-democracy.org/research/issuesforum/issuesforum.ppt (slides never shared on DoWire before nor linked from Publicus.Net) More on the model: http://www.e-democracy.org/do/commons.html Note: In July, over 15 citizens attended a similar session in Christchurch, New Zealand. That meeting might lead to an E-Democracy.Org-style Issues Forum: http://www.onlinegroups.co.nz/tofu/groups/democraseed P.S. There may be some huge news on the Issues Forum front to announce soon. Stay tuned. Vacation Advice --------------- While my wife and I will be on vacation in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Sydney, and Melbourne after Nov. 19, we'd be glad to trade a bit of vacation advice for a little e-democracy chatter over coffee should our paths cross.
