This was sent to me today and I thought that it may interest some of you. It is a webcast debate around the issue of e-voting, something that will no doubt become more prevalent in this corrupt little country of ours.

"We would like to bring to your attention details
of the first webcast
debate to be held in the Oxford Union Debating
Chamber, taking place on
Monday 23rd June 5-7pm. The debate, hosted by the
OII with kind support
from EDS and Oracle will address the motion 'This
House has confidence
in voting via the Internet'.
Chaired by Stephen Coleman, Cisco Visiting
Professor of e-Democracy, the
debate will see Jim Adler, CEO and Prseident of
Votehere speaking for
the motion, and Jason Kitcat, Founder and
Co-ordinator of the Free
e-Democracy Project opposing the motion. Richard
Allen MP will join
Stephen Coleman on the panel.

For further details of the event, or to follow
the webcast live please

We will be taking questions for the speakers live
via e-mail on the
