Issues Forums and epanels workshop

Issues Forums and epanels workshop November 29, 2005

Posted by Andy Roberts in : General , trackback

In addition to everything else I’m attending a workshop on “Issues Forums & epanels” from Nov 28 - Dec 9, 2005. Do those dates ring a bell with anyone?

It’s run by Tim Erikson, in Minnesota, and Carol Hayward, Project Manager Local E-Democracy, Bristol City Council.

Issues Forums are geographically based online discussion groups, intended to empower communities to influence their local authorities, and epanels seem to be more like consultation exercises.

I’m likely to take a somewhat critical stance, but welcome the learning opportunity alongside others.
