I am putting together an "e-citizens" panel for the International e-Participation and Local Democracy Symposium - Baltimore on August 3, 2006. I'd like to invite a local Baltimore neighborhood activist involved a very active online forum/e-list. Please send suggestions to: clift@publicus.net In related news, E-Democracy.Org received a planning grant to develop a proposal for online neighborhood forums in Minneapolis. Here are some example forums we are learning from: http://www.e-democracy.org/wiki/Example_neighborhood_forums If you know of other good examples or research resources, please add them to the wiki page. For details on our planning process, see: http://www.e-democracy.org/wiki/Minneapolis_neighborhood_forums Cheers, Steven Clift Board Chair, E-Democracy.Org . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
