<BR>
I think the best way would be a knowledgeable panel discuss a topical issue followed by Q&A.<BR>
<BR>
We are also running a debate prior to this one on ‘Digital Dundee’ discussing whether there should be an official digital strategy for Dundee or whether it should be supported in the organic way in which it is now. <BR>
<BR>
I think it would be good to follow with discussion on digital freedom, maybe cover the digital economy act, or ‘Does free make sense?’, issues of control? Security ... Not free but open? <BR>
<BR>
It could also have an informal Q&A with some demos set up? <BR>
<BR>
Again you thoughts are greatly appreciated <BR>

Due to people taking holidays over the next few weeks, the best thing would be to have a meeting at the end of August where ideas and the format of the debate can be discussed by the people that wish to get involved. <BR>
