Bangalore governance Abide Participation
Saw this in email, I guess all those who had registered on abide website would have received it.
...
At this juncture, the government is considering the Task Force’s recommendations to strengthen regional governance, and will very likely introduce legislation based on the recommendations in the coming months. At this time, we are keen to therefore seek the citizen’s inputs to refining the recommendations further, and to have your voice heard by the lawmakers as well. A series of public consultations is being scheduled in the city. The first such consultation will be held at the following venue:
National Games Village, Builder’s Club-Koramangala.
Date & Time: Sunday 12th July 2009 at 11 am
We hope you will attend this upcoming event, and help members of the ABIDe Task Force in gathering citizen inputs for subsequent action to build a better Bengaluru.

SB,
Looking forward to more details.
I did not receive any email. I am a registered user on ABIDE's site and even had submitted my responses to some of the plans they had came up.
But I am yet to see a acknowledgment or any other response from ABIDE for this or any other meetings previously.
I think they are going with a philosophy that every body is not needed in a public consultation process.
Discussing local governance proposal

From the email, it looks like this consultation is on Abide's blueprint on regional governance. While we discuss BBMP's problems no end, we must realize that the long term and once for all solution to things we blame BBMP for is in such measures to improve regional governance structure.
I will try my best to attend this event. Hope more Praja members will join as well.
They want only "Yes Minister" types to attend

U R very much right. Same thing was being noticed during BATF sumits; I was an invitee for the first sumit, asked certain 'inconvenient questions' to the Chairman, BWSSB regarding 'making money by pumping air through the ultra sensitive electronic water meters', for which the Chairman became a little purterbed and retorted 'this is the most unchritable question' !!?
I was not invited for the second sumit - but I had kept a watch and did attend to ask some more 'inconvenient questions' and did not get satisfactory answers.
Now ABIDe is nothing but old wine in new bottle and they appear to be inviting only "Yes Minister" types to the public consultation.
