The organising process of the ESF will be transparent to those attending. The mass, energy and range of ideas present should transcend this process, including the choice of speakers and chairs. But there is reason to feel that this may be more difficult to do this year. Old style politicians and parties have tried to dominate the ESF, but any hold they have should prove transient as their strength continues to dwindle.rampart during ESF

ESF Update Report on technology, media centres, and politics
15-09-2004 15:22
A report compiled from documents published over the last year, and updated to give the latest situation.
There's a lot missing from here, especially all of the positive and constructive proposals made by various of the "horizontal" activists around website tools and communications structures designed to increase participation and transparency in the ESF process.
We know that the details of the logistics of a particular social forum tend to be the responsibily of the local organising committee / process, however there are some areas that have an impact of the very real political shape of the event, and are themselves political, and which should concern us all.
Communication structures and tools, websites, mailing lists, computers, media centres, press policies, software platforms, and licensing of media are all highly political issues, yet they have been dismissed as mere practicalities by many involved in the uk ESF process.
