*** Democracies Online Newswire - http://www.e-democracy.org/do *** I am considering a stop in Brussels on Tuesday, March 6 and morning of Wednesday, March 7. I'd like to learn as much as I can about the European Commission's Framework V effort and the projects addressing "On-line support to democratic processes." See: http://www.egroups.com/message/do-wire/399 I'd like to put together a general E-Democracy Trends presentation during the day on Tuesday, March 6 that would be accessible and central to Commission, European Parliament, and NGO staff in the region. That evening I'd like to organize a "Democracies Online Happy Hour" or social event like the successful "politics online" social events in London and Stockholm and the similar NetPolitics happy hour in Washington, DC. If you have thoughts, suggestions, or want to help out, drop me an e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Everyone interested in further details should join my temporary Brussels/EU contact e-mail list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you are aware of other Belgian and EU-related "e-democracy" stories of note, please drop me an e-mail as well. I am always on the look out for very local uses of the Internet in real politics/community that some how make a difference. Cheers, Steven Clift Democracies Online ^ ^ ^ ^ Steven L.
