Post in Interested in Launching An Issues Forum?

2006 Jan 17 16:19 UTC

As noted by Carol Hayward, I'll be in the UK from Jan 30 - Feb 9th,
to participate in the Local eDemocracy National Project conferences
that she mentioned (see below).

If you are interested in the possibility of launching a Local Issues
Forum in your community, you are invited to attend one of these
conferences (encourage others from your community/council to attend)
or contact me about a possible meeting.

I've allocated several days during this trip to meet with communities
interested in potentially launching an Issues Forum. I'm available
for an informal meeting to explore to the idea of an Issues Forum or
to conduct more detailed training sessions/workshops.

Please, contact me if you are interested. At the moment, I've not yet
booked anything on:

    Jan 30
    Feb 2, 3, 4, 6, 9

But I expect to fill at least three of those dates with communities
that have already contacted me.

If your not in the position to start an Issues Forum, but are still
interested in possibly meeting sometime during my visit to chat about
eDemocracy and online citizen participation - please let me know. I'm
anxious to learn more about other projects taking place in the UK.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Tim Erickson
