Have you noticed a positive use of the Internet by government in the
democratic process? Perhaps something in your local community that
deserves global kudos?   If so, please read on below.

Thanks,

E-democracy Best Practices - Submit, Draft, Discuss:

    http://www.dowire.org/bp

On this new project site you can:

    1. Recommend an E-democracy Project or Strategy
         (Best before 31 DEC 2004)
    2. Commend an Online Feature or E-democracy Practice
         (Best before 24 DEC 2004)
    3. Nominate "Most E-democracy Enabled Governments"
    4. Nominate "Most Wired Politicians"
    5. Share a Local E-Activism Story
    6. Join the E-democracy Best Practices Leadership Team
    7. Help draft or comment on Briefs and Case Studies
         (Honorariums available for accepted topics)
    8. Get a preview of the new DoWire blog and wiki system

In particular, we are looking for "undiscovered" e-democracy projects
outside the UK with relevant lessons for the UK local authorities. In
the past, I've discovered most leading e-democracy practices
<http://publicus.net/articles.html> in-person! This is because those
closest to innovation often don't realize they are ahead or in fact
innovators. Help us uncover the stories and case studies to be told.
Submit suggestions please: http://dowire.org/submit

exploration of global e-democracy best practices, join the 2800+
