Blair's Commission wants you
The Commission for Africa has gone all interactive with a collection of forms and forums.
According to ZDNet UK:
Simon Mills, who is in charge of the online consultation, said the commission wants to reach a wide audience."The online consultation will enable thousands of people to not only find out more about our work, but to give us their views on what sort of areas the commission should be developing."
I may not have done enough background reading. But from what I have seen, the Commission members have been very vague about the exact content of their deliberations up to now. All will become clear next year when the Commission's report comes out. But in the meantime, it will be interesting to see if people can keep up a focused discussion without anything concrete from the Commission to comment on.
The subject headings within each thread do give a clue to some of the areas covered though. Worth watching. Here's the Commission's home page.
