The inaugural issue of the International Journal of Public Participation (IJP2) is scheduled to appear in March 2007. IJP2 aims to be a forum for practitioners and scholars who wish to share their knowledge with a wider audience. This new, peer-reviewed (for scholarly contributions), on-line quarterly, is sure to draw interest from a broad and diverse audience, including persons whose work focuses on deliberation, dialogue, public policy dispute resolution, and collaborative decision-making as well as on public participation generally. The editors are accepting manuscripts over the next three to twelve months. They are especially interested in papers developed from presentations at the NCDD conference in San Francisco. More information can be viewed at http://iap2.civicore.com/modules/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=807D83FD-D548-EC76-B2CE417368194A02. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact the editor, Michael Briand, at mkbriand@internetconet.net.
