[Oe List ...] Our Future --- as it so happens . . .

[Ed Feldmanis]

Jim, thank you for your question. Very thoughtful. I seem to remember that
you did a group facilitation with people in Palestine. I've always
appreciated your efforts. Maybe something from your work there might apply?
So about the question of what news in governance. There no doubt will be
forms and interactions that will have to be innovated in the future.
Hopefully the local, particularly the village or the neighborhood, could
regain recognition have some economic stability and cultural life. But the
big reason I'm emailing you is that I would like you to pay attention to
the innovative work in Estonia. They are pioneers in e-government. The only
two things not available from a telephone or a home computer are marriage
licenses and property transfers. Everything else can be done from someone's
home. That means that even people living here in the United States with
dual citizenship for example, or with a green card, can access their
telephone and access Estonian government, using their Master pin number,
the government computers in Estonia. They can get whatever they need done
even thousands of miles away. Good luck with your study.
