If the party hierarchy doesn't embrace it then they will lose the opportunity to shape it. <br /><br />Nobody expects them to be perfect from the offset, but I think there is immense value in blogging as a teaching method by which we learn to communicate better. I also feel the Fed Ex may be missing a trick in coopting the blogging community through wider engagement.<br /><br />In the end it all comes down to how it is done rather than whether or not it is. Even if it starts off as an edited version of the minutes and agenda then this would enable a much wider audience to understand the processes and consider these issues for themselves. If this gradually expands out into a wider discussion of them then the audience automatically has a stake in the process and the success of any outcomes.<br /><br />So my key questions are how does this show we are encouraging greater participation, and how do we do so whilst ignoring the vast potential advantage afforded by blogging?Oranjepanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150901449640162740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934023.post-5792759831674649932009-09-12T21:05:52.912+01:002009-09-12T21:05:52.912+01:00You could just turn off comments, couldnt you?You could just turn off comments, couldnt you?Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097506047093013889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934023.post-42952068790993419472009-09-12T15:11:14.077+01:002009-09-12T15:11:14.077+01:00With love and respect, Mark, this tells us why com...With love and respect, Mark, this tells us why committee members don't blog, but it doesn't explain the paucity of their reports.Jennie Rigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893281560181289667noreply@blogger.com
