We're thinking about having a candidates forum on the phone-based Boston Peace 
and Justice Events Hotline, for the Boston Mayoral election. If we try it, it 
will be interesting to see whether more candidates participate, since they won't 
have to know what "the net" is, and they can do "sound-bytes".

Please keep me posted, Chris, about any other issues that crop up. If we go 
ahead with the idea, I'll keep y'all posted on how it turns out.

Also, if anyone else has experience with getting candidates to participate in 
on-line systems, please let me know about it.

Chris,

Using the telephone net, I would ask for a brief telephone 
interview and if necessary, show candidates the questions in 
advance.
