DoWire Groups - Online Communities of Practice and E-mail Updates

DoWire Groups promotes international online information and knowledge exchange on e-democracy, e-government, and democracy practices. It is the online place for those building information-age democracy, governance, and active citizenship in the 21st Century. Join us.

Each online group is an integrated e-mail list and web forum with file sharing and more. You may choose e-mail (default setting), web, or both for discussions. E-mail updates from our Democracies Online Newswire (blog version) and our low volume DoWire site Announcements are also available. Launched as DO-WIRE in 1998, the Newswire reaches over 2750 members across 100 countries. Online group sponsorship opportunities are available.
