During the last member meeting of Pep-net in Krems, we have made several statements about the future perspectives of Pep-net and the paths, how we should get there. A common point of view, that members have shared collectively during the meeting that we need good leadership to the path as well, how we plan to formulate future Pep-net. I am recommending two opinions for designing and planning our common future.
The first one is a connecting discussion in a LinkedIn group:
What are for practitioners the key aspects of good governance and management practices (particularly for NPOs).
Imagine you get suddenly involved in a new NPO, what are for you the fist aspects or characteristics to look at to get an idea whether they are “best-in-class” or rather “not at al best-in-class”? In fact, what is your ‘short check list’ to get your first impression?
The group discussion contains several key document links, which can help to formulate an opinion about an organization’s state of management.
The other one is a book, that I strongly recommend to all readers – if you have not read the great book Leadership from Below from Trond Arne Undheim, which is giving a great perspective, how to lead an organization, from below of yourself.
Happy Monday to all readers!

On 18 June 2008 Casaba Madarasz from Option.hu Ltd. in Hungary became person number 100 to register as a member of the eParticipation and eDemocracy Network on www.epractice.eu.
The eParticipation and eDemocracy Network is open to all interested in these issues, whether at sub-national, national, European or trans-national levels. The issues covered are potentially broad and often interconnected and includes eEngagement, eDeliberation, eInvolvement, eLegislation and eVoting, as well as eDecision, eRule and ePolicy-making.
To date 103 people are registered as member of the eParticipation and eDemocracy Network. For further details see www.epractice.eu/community/eParticipation

The PEP-NET kick-off meeting and workshop on 21-21 May 2008 in Hamburg (DE) brought together experts to discuss their visions and expectations for PEP-NET along with the possible advantages of the initiatives. One such discussion focused on the scientific and research community in particular. In addition to the formal vision and aims of PEP-NET the workgroup members discuss how each could bring their unique abilities and resources to the network. The outcome of the discussions relevant for scientists and researchers is highlighted below:
VISION
- Bring together different aspects, domain and expertise for mutual learning and benefit and to further the scientific and research work related to eParticipation
- Consolidate and further work of the eParticipation community
- Act as a resource/hub bringing together practitioners, academia, public, private and stakeholder communities
EXPECTATIONS
- Facilitate synergies between existing networks (e.g. DEMO-NET) and projects (e.g. eParticipation study) NOT duplication of existing initiatives e.g. good practice cases (ePractice.eu and DEMO-NET)
- Mutual exchange and consultation between members of the network.
- PEP-NET as a resource for expertise including for researchers (incl students) to identify examples for study and vice versa
- PEP-NET as a dissemination channel of research relevant to the eParticipation community
ADVANTAGES
- Access and contact with practitioners and public administration for research, gaining and sharing knowledge and cases for research
- Good and bad practice exchange brought to practitioners and others outside the research community
- Bring to other stakeholders scientific methodology, academic research and test-pilots
- Exchange could reveal gabs for further research
- Provide interesting network for potential partners
ABILITIES AND RESOURCES FOR PEP-NET
- Bring in expertise from past, present and future projects and initiatives
- Introduce our partners and networks to PEP-NET for synergies but also to increase awareness of eParticipation as a topic
- Scientific methodology and research mapping relevant to decision makers (public and private)
- Provide an scientific test bed
- Dissemination of events, research done, new trends, proto types, solutions etc.
- “exchange/recruitment” of staff could be an interesting aspect
- Research community could in theory offer training (at what cost) or act as a source of competence development
- eDemocracy Awards, dissemination and publicity channel
- Multiplier effect in relation to the scientific and research community
