[Advisors] "digital strategy" canada?

[Marita Moll]

Ken, I don't have the answer to this question.  James has been working 
really hard on getting i-Canada to understand the concept of community.

I'll pass this to him.

>> The elements of the govt's digital strategy listed in the letter -- see link below -- are laughable.  Maybe we should send the minister a letter with some suggestions of what a real digital strategy might consist of.  Actually there are several articles in the collection "The Internet Tree" which would suffice very well.  One is by our very own Garth Graham, another by Michael Geist.
