to: s.lenos@publiek-politiek.nl<BR><BR>Steven Clift, Board Chair of
E-Democracy.Org and international expert on the use of the Internet in
democracy, will present on<BR>Local Issues Forums and
GroupServer.<BR><BR>GroupServer is a new open source online group tool that
combines e- mail lists and web forums. By hosting the new UK-based
local<BR>Issues Forums in Brighton & Hove and Newham, E-Democracy.Org is
opening a<BR>new<BR>path toward open source collaboration among e-democracy
initiatives around the world. Issues Forum evolved from the world's
first<BR>election-oriented website in 1994, Minnesota E-Democracy. Today
E-Democracy.Org hosts citizen- based local forums in Minnesota and<BR>England.
They are effectively designed to have an agenda- setting impact on local
communities. <BR><BR>Those attending this free session are asked to
download and review<BR>the<BR>Issues Forum Guidebook <<A
href="http://e-democracy.org/uk/guide.pdf">http://e-democracy.org/uk/guide.pdf</A>>
before the session. More documents and multimedia are available<BR><<A
href="http://e-democracy.org/uk">http://e-democracy.org/uk</A>>. <BR><BR>Whether
you want to create an Issues Forum in your local community or are interested in
applying lessons related to online<BR>facilitation of political discussions to
your own projects, this session will have value to you. If you are mostly
interested in<BR>the open source<BR>aspects,<BR>details on GroupServer should
also be reviewed before the session <<A
href="http://e-democracy.org/groupserver">http://e-democracy.org/groupserver</A>>. <BR><BR>This
two hour session will include an overview of Issues Forum, a<BR>tour<BR>of
GroupServer, and a discussion of the potential for open source collaboration in
e-democracy projects around the world. This<BR>presentation builds on a similar
event in London from June (audio webcast available):<BR><A
