Colleagues and Friends,
During 1998 and 1999 the Council of Europe's
Congress of Local and Regional Authorities
organised a series of meetings on
Local and Regional Information Society.
A rapporteur's memorandum of these meetings, and a recommendation of the
Congress may be found in the world wide web. From the memorandum "More than
six hundred local and regional representatives and experts from twenty-four
European countries took part in the three Seminars on "Local and Regional
Information Society", held in
Helsinki, Finland (21-23 January 1998),
Miercurea Ciuc, Romania (8-9 October 1998) and
Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic (15-16 March 1999)."
Council of Europe reports etc. are available in both French and English.

I was a speaker at two of these meetings (in Romania and Czech Republic)
and am pleased to see that there is a report, and that it's available
on-line :-)
It would be good to discuss some of the issues raised in the Council's
memorandum and recommendation on Local and Regional Information Society.
One virtual place to do that is Democr@cy Forum, hosted by John Gotze and
myself at http://www.democracyforum.net/democracy/
Sincerely,
Michael Macpherson
