CENTER FOR NEW DEMOCRACY GOES ONLINE
by George Por


Gary Hart has founded a broad-based think tank organization called Center for a New Democracy, which says, "policy making in this time is too important to be left to its traditional practitioners only." The national membership network of the Center includes federal policy makers, state and local officials, business and labor leaders, grassroot community activists, and academics. Two key members of CND's founders circle and board of directors are Bay Area executives: Regis McKenna, the PR and marketing guru of Silicon Valley, and Don Kimball, Chairman of Consolidated Capital.

What makes the Center worthy to mention in this column is its dedication "to establish a modern communications system using cutting edge computer and telecommunications technologies to enable a computer membership network to conduct online conferences and maintain regular communication among its members. The Center plans to use teleconferencing and other means of electronic networking as appropriate. Well, we're talking about plans, so there's nothing up and running as of today. Stay tuned and you'll be the first to know when your modem can dial Gary Hart and his friends.
