I recently attended the UK Internet Governance Forum:

I haven't seen anything on e-consultancy.com about the issues, nor Nominet's Best Practice Challenge, launched at the UK IGF, which is running again this year:

http://www.nic.uk/about/bestpracticechallenge/

with six categories:

• best development project award
• best security initiative
• raising industry standards
• personal safety
• internet for all
• open internet

and four themes - security, access, diversity and openness. It seems that it could be a good arena to promote what e-consultancy members have been doing. Last year's winners are listed at:

and commercial organisations look a bit under-represented.  The closing date for entries is 25 April 2008.
