E-democracy stories from developing countries - Best practices search
In India, I've heard about the use of wireless-based Internet video
conferencing for meetings between citizens in multiple villages and their
district manager.
In Turkey, a local government provided deep access to accountability and
fiscal spending information.
In Mongolia, the Prime Minister uses e-consultation to gather input in
both Mongolia and in English by sharing certain draft legislation.
I am interested in collecting more suggestions for possible e-democracy
case studies from all over the world. Please forward this message onfar and wide within your countries. A project is waiting to be discovered
by the world.
Thanks,
Steven Clift

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
