*** Democracies Online Newswire - http://www.e-democracy.org/do *** NOTE - RSVP for the event below directly to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I stopped by to visit Stephen Coleman at LSE last month and saw the Hansard Society's little army of e-democracy programme <http://www.hansardsociety.org.uk/eDemocracy.htm> researchers busy coding and comparing campaign, media, and interactive web sites related to the recent UK election. I look forward to hearing the results of their research. The visit reminded of some important reports I had planned to mention (or in the first case, mention again) on DO-WIRE: New Media and Social Inclusion http://www.hansardsociety.org.uk/Social_Exclusion_Report.pdf Lessons from an online consultation with the House of Lords with survivors of domestic violence Realising Democracy Online: A Civic Commons in Cyberspace: http://www.citizensonline.org.uk/downloads.asp This highly influential report commissioned by IPPR <http://www.ippr.org.uk> and Citizens Online is written by Jay Blumler and Stephen Coleman. It connects remarkably well with the vision and practice of Minnesota E-Democracy - so it must be good. ;-) Steven Clift Democracies Online ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Edemocracy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Hansard Society event Date sent: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 11:19:31 +0100 An Invitation 2001: A CYBER SPACE ODYSSEY THE INTERNET IN THE UK ELECTION You are invited to join us for an Internet Democracy Forum followed by a reception to launch 2001: A Cyber Space Odyssey, The internet in the UK election by Dr Stephen Coleman.
