::fibreculture:: Globalisation

[Hugh Brown]

Not on news per se, but there's an organisation in Argentina at
http://www.politicayactualidad.com/ that is concerned with creating a public
sphere for policy debate using the Internet.  I don't read Spanish, but they
contacted us at On Line Opinion asking for help/advice on the creation of
public spheres (not in as many words).

Perhaps they can point you in the right direction??

Cheers,
Hughie

PS.  That reply of mine was meant to be public.  I must have hit the wrong
button.
