Join our new online exchange dedicated to sharing experiences, ideas, and "how-to" knowledge among those leading the way (or catching up) with public sector webcasting. It is sponsored by the UK Local E-democracy National Project which is funded by the UK Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.

To join this online community, complete the short registration form available from http://dowire.org/webcasting . The community will start with a private e-mail list and e-conference then build shared knowledge via web tools.

Membership is free. It is open to staff in public sector organizations including:

- Governments - Local, state, national, international

- Universities and schools

- Government-funded media

- Inter-governmental organizations and other public sector institutions

- Webcasting and multimedia service providers

This is a global forum for all levels of government.

Initial Activities:

- Enhanced Webcasting Specification - We seek your input and ideas on how to cost-effectively develop or make tools available that make webcasting in the public sector a more democratizing and compelling experience. See the site now.

- Webcasting Knowledge Exchange - Special web pages with annotated links to help public sector practitioners get started or improve their webcasting activities.

Please pass this invitation on to anyone you know who works with webcasting or multimedia in the public sector.
