As an audience member, you will be able to observe the dialogue in both the e-Panel and e-Audience sections and post comments in the e-Audience section. You can also post questions here that are intended for the panelists as the moderator will review the questions from this section and select some to pose to the panel.

The e-Audience section will be open at least one week preceding that particular e-Dialogue. We hope that you will join in the e-Dialogue and share your thoughts and perspectives.

Please be aware that the e-dialogues are investigating a series of research questions and that, therefore, by participating in the dialogue you are consenting to be a part of that research through the dialogue content that you provide.

In addition, selected members of the media have been invited to observe the e-dialogue. If it is important to you to preserve your anonymity, you will need to select a "Publicly Displayed Name" that does not reveal your identity.

Also, we request that you complete an evaluation survey after participating in a dialogue to help us as part of our research. The survey will ask questions about your experience with the dialogue - the software, format and content. The survey should take you 5 minutes to complete. Or, if you are short on time, please post a comment in the Evaluation - Feedback section suggesting any changes that would make this e-Dialogue easier to use.

To enter the e-Dialogues, you will need to register first. Please see our registration instructions.

Software instructions are available to ensure that you can easily navigate the e-Dialogue software.

We've provided a set of readings for each e-dialogue to help orient you to the issues under discussion. The readings can also serve as a starting point for further research.
