Editor's Notes

  • #3 This is the outline of the day.Emphasise if particular issues or questions then we can always adapt the running order/focus.
  • #5 Emphasise: this is about listening and engaging, not monitoring.Live Web different that static Web – dynamic, ‘out of control’, bottom-up, different cultural practice as well as media.
