<nettime> Citizen Internet - Asia-Pacific Connections - Newswire |
Citizen Internet and Participation - Asia-Pacific Connections There is a good chance that I will speak at the Global Knowledge conference <http://www.globalknowledge.org.my/> in Malaysia, March 7-10. Like I have done over 100 times across 17 countries with previous trips, I hope to arrange speaking engagements and small meetings in a few Asia-Pacific countries after the conference. I speak about citizen participation and the Internet, the role of the Internet in elections and governance, and hope to meet with key organizations and governments to discuss global efforts to promote the use of civic online interaction and events at the local, national, and international level. My presentations and articles are available online <http://www.publicus.net>. If you would to explore hosting a presentation or a visit to your area, please contact me via e-mail <clift@publicus.net> or call +1-612-822-8667. For more information on who I am, see my biography below. I also invite those receiving this message to also join the close to 1000 key leaders and journalists on my Democracies Online Newswire <http://www.e-democracy.org/do>. With my trips I tend to uncover exciting examples about what I call the convergence of democracy and the Internet. If you know of innovative efforts using the Internet in government, governance, community involvement, advocacy, campaigns, etc. in the Asia-Pacific region, please let me know via e-mail <clift@publicus.net>. The full Democracies Online Newswire description is at the very end of this message.
