  Yes - that sounds really useful.

  I am unable to go to this one. 

  If someone wants to go on behalf of T & SA, we can pay reasonable expenses in return for a report back.

    Dear All,

    Affairs

    Coleman and Bill Dutton, and the recipient of the 2005 Career Achievement

    Date: 07 December 2005, 17:00 - 18:30

    Abstract: 
    Some e-participation projects have been funded and promoted by governments; 
    others have been initiated by grass-roots activitists and communities. What 
    is the relationship between such projects and the distribution of political 
    power? Top-down/governmental e-participation can be accused of allowing the 
    public to 'have their say' in ways that are subsequently ignored, about 
    issues that have already been decided upon. Bottom-up/grass roots 
    initiatives can be criticised as 'virtual talking shops' which are isolated 
    from the structures of decision-making. What scope is there for e-enabled 
    co-governance?
