Hello everyone
Just to let you know that the Bristol ePanel (see www.askbristol.com) is
available to all on a pilot basis at very reasonable rates. CommunityPeople
would, as we do for Bristol, host the application for you and do the Âlook
and feel branding to whatever designs you require. All you need is to come
up with the debates and conversations!
The whole system is very easy to use and would take you no time at all to
master. Before you know it, you will have created a truly superb way of
engaging with citizens and stakeholders, of involving councillors and
officers, of building relationships and generating first-hand experience.
Here's another example: www.communitypeople.net/chex This for the Health
Service. Your ePanel could be any group - citizens, businesses, special
interest groups.
As a way of combining the tools of online community, consultation and
surveys (as well as deliberative polling) it is unrivalled in its capability
and the perfect way  with no risk  to experience the benefits and
advantages of an interactive online community designed to support and extend
traditional citizens panels(more details at
http://www.communitypeople.net/epanel.htm).
Give me a call on 01292 440280 or email <email obscured> and
letÂs get started!
Cheers
Jim
P.S. Also available and FREE of charge are the courses developed as part of
the eDemocracy National Project in relation to management and moderation of
ePanels. Have a look at www.communitypeople.net/courses. Let me know and I
will register you for all three - public, eModerators and eManagers.
P.P.S. Our award winning application eDecide (from Royal Town Planning
Institute) is part of the tool set in our ePanel. Have a look at
www.edecide.net to see what I mean. Have a go at the Tall Buildings eDecide
process. Then look at the library of eDecides.
