[Air-l] UK Local Issues Forums - Research ... Brighton, Newham and more

[Steven Clift]

If you are interested in analyzing online political discourse, the use
of open source in e-democracy, or effective models for online
facilitation, check out http://e-democracy.org/uk

We have a new 50 page draft guide available which helps explain the
model.  We are interested in working with researchers on cost/benefit
analysis related to different e-democracy options for local authorities.
If you have X resources you can get Y from A number of online
consultations or Z from fewer consultation and one Issues Forum.  As far
as I can tell, there isn't much research that helps practitioners or
funders better focus their scarce resources for the largest e-democracy
value.

Cheers,
Steven Clift
