I would like to propose setting up a new conference for the purpose
of discussing the problems present when using email for advocacy
with elected officials specifically the problem of the emails being
ignored and thereby jeopardizing the success of an advocacy campaign.
There has been some media coverage about this recently.
There are also some reports and surveys on this by the Congress
Online Project and OMBWATCH.(I will provide the URLs in future
posts or will give it to anyone requesting it by email.)
I am new to GREX and am not sure I will ultimately decide I wan't it
here because I find the Conferencing system a bit confusing, and I
would like to invite alot of people who are new to GREX to come
here and participate, and they might also find the system to be too
confusing.

This subject needs a conference? Start an item in agora and see what happens.

Joe.
I would like to have people from outside of GREX also use the
conference, and they will have trouble finding the info in Agora.

I disagree, but that is no argument against starting a conference.

Posting an item in Agora and seeing what kind of response it generates is
a good way to gauge whether there is sufficient interest in the topic to
support a new conference.

Even if there is not a big interest shown in Agora, I would still want
to start it, because I would publicize it on many places outside of GREX
and bring in participants to the conference.
Also, in response to a previous question about wether there is a need
for a seperate conference for this, I have thought about the possibility
of starting it out as a seperate conference and later on moving it into
another broader category conference like the politics conference
or broadening the scope of the conference and renaming it.

I don't see any problem with starting a conference for this. It may end up
dying a lonely death, but that's no reason not to try it in the first place.

Heh, Some of us FWs have conferences that are severely inactive, not dead.
I just KNOW that the Food Coop people would flock here if I only had a
separate conference for them ;-)

I tried out a translators' conference as an item in the language conference.
It lived for a few days.

Regarding my request for a conference about 'email advocacy':
I am not yet ready to make a final decision yet to start it,and need
some time to sort some things out related to this.
I am not sure how much time I need to decide,but will try to post
again about this as soon as possible.
