If you are aware of potential "e-democracy" case studies in Latin
America, please send them my way: [email protected]
This includes anything online designed to build citizen trust
and participation in government at any level.
Thanks,

* Democratic Evolution or Virtual Civil War?
I put my http://E-Democracy.Org "civil society" hat on while speaking
at the Promise of E-Democracy side event at the World Summit on the
Information Society. While my report above shares exceptional best
practices, my Geneva speech makes it clear that democratic will is
required to make what is possible - probable and universal. Access my
text and the panel video, which included the Foreign Minister of Greece,
George Papandreou, Nicholas Negroponte, Stephen Coleman from Oxford
among others: http://publicus.net/articles/democraticevolution.html

Also, the BBC World's Click-Online television program used the WSIS as
a back drop for a report and interview on e-democracy. See right column.
