> years, our website has served mostly to provide information on our  
> day-long forum – schedule, panelist bios, directions, etc.  This  
> year we are reviving our past practice of using our web presence as  
> an extension of the forum. We felt this was particularly appropriate  
> in light of this year’s topic: new forms of political participation  
> connected to new information and communication technologies.
> We are in the process of adding content to the website, and would  
> appreciate any suggestions. Also, you will see that the site  
> includes an “open blog,” to which all registered users can post  
> material related to the topic. And beginning this month, we will be  
> adding a series of podcast interviews we are conducting. The first  
> of these will be with Justine Lam, who the web person for Ron Paul’s
