I am looking for examples and lessons related to government- led/facilitated/funded online information exchange projects (i.e. online discussions, portals with distributed submission/editorial). Think of this as e-democracy on the _output_ side of governance. In particular, I am interested in efforts that are designed to help a government organization better implement an established public policy/goal with the participation of other governments, NGOs, and interested citizens. I am also interested in online platforms used inter-governmentally for structured information exchange even if they are closed to outside stakeholders. Some leading examples that I know of where governments/IGOs are taking facilitative lead role include: CommunityBuilders NSW - Links, Discussion http://www.communitybuilders.nsw.gov.au/site/ Minneapolis Downtown Command - Community Policing E-List http://www.mail-archive.com/do-wire@;tc.umn.edu/msg00469.html OneFish.Org (UN FAO lead) - Community Portal, Virtual Offices http://www.onefish.org/static/about.htm Development Gateway (An NGO crafted by the World Bank) http://www.developmentgateway.org/node/190911/ If you are aware of important working examples (small and successful is better than large and dead), please drop me a note: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I may use your submission in a short paper I am writing for the OECD's Project on the Impact of E-Government. At some point I will also be able to share that paper with DO-WIRE members.
