Public Net-Work

New papers from Steven Clift, e-democracy expert and speaker:


* E-Democracy, E-Governance, and Public Net-Work
http://publicus.net/articles/edempublicnetwork.html

    A short paper with diagrams that explains e-democracy,
    government online consultations, and introduces a new
    concept called "public net-work."

* Public Net-work: Online Information Exchange in the Pursuit of
Public Service Goals
http://publicus.net/articles/oecdpublicnetwork.rtf (Word/RTF)

    A paper completed for the OECD E-Government Working Group
    that goes into further detail on the public net-work.

In short ...

E-democracy uses information and communication technologies
(ICTs) to improve citizen participation and government decision-
making.  Public net-work uses similar ICT tools and online
communities to encourage direct stakeholder and citizen
participation in efforts that help governments, NGOs, and others
implement established public programs and priorities in new and more
effective ways.  If you are a public network practitioner, please
attend the online conference planned for this October
<http://publicus.net/publicnetwork.html>.
