[LINK] Government 2.0 Taskforce Roundtable

[Tom Worthington]

On Monday I attended the first round table and the first public forum of 
the Government 2.0 Taskforce. The task force is having a series of 
meetings around Australia, with large open public forums and smaller 
closed meetings with selected people from government, industry and 
academia. I have been asked to suggest academics to invite to the round 
tables (apparently the secretiriat thinks I am an academic). If any 
researcher or educator is interetsed in attending, please let me know 
and will pass your details on.

Hopefully the task force will have sorted out its processes by the time 
of the second round of meetings. But anyone attending should prepare 
themselves for a frustrating experience. The task force is having 
difficulty with the concepts and the practicalities of using the 
Internet for consultation. But they mean well, so please be patient with 
them. ;-)
