[Nettime-bold] Int'l Invite - Elections and the Net - Post election review

["Steven Clift" <slc@publicus.net>]

It would be great to get an international comparative perspective on lessons learned about the 
use of the Internet in elections outside of the the United States.  The discussion may also be 
particularly useful for those who have upcoming national elections.  Perhaps you can improve 
upon our early efforts and show us how to do things right!

Introductions

Alright, we are ready to get the discussion going.  Let's have some
fun and try to make this discussion as useful as possible. Here is
how we'd like to start:

1. Write up a single one or two sentence "Top 50 Internet and
Elections Lessons and Trends" bullet and assign it a subjective
number of where you would rank it in the top 50 - 1 being the most
important lesson or trend.

2. Share that Top 50 bullet item with the list
<do-campnet@egroups.com> and mark it as a "Trend" or a "Lesson."  If it is
a new lesson for 2000, add (Lesson - 2000) or (Trend - 2000).  Lessons or
innovations discovered in 1998 or even 1996 are encouraged - a recap would
be helpful.  Use a subject line like "37 - People Go to Web Sites for
Campaign Telephone Numbers - Your Name Here"

3. ADD YOUR INTRODUCTION - with either your Top 50 contribution or
with your first post or reply to other messages.  Be sure to include basic
contact information including the URLs of any of the sites you worked on.
You can be as insightful or promotional as you like.  One of the goals of
this list is to discover the new folks at the grass roots who did cool
stuff.  We won't know about you if you don't toot your horn some!

Thank you for being a part of this discussion!  Again send your Top
50 bullet and introduction this week to:

     do-campnet@egroups.com

As a reminder, no one should post more than three times a day.  We
don't want two folks to go back and forth all day without letting
others put in their two cents.  Also, we ask that you sign your posts with
basic contact information,

Cheers,
