Webdialogue

The Euro-Atlantic Association of Belgium starts a dialogue experiment on an recent international security issue using its website http//www.beaa.be/. The rules of this game are as follows :

1. An initial working paper is issued on the website of the Association on a recent security event of general interest.
2. For simplification purposes, this paper is written in English.
3. Those who want to do so, may make short comments or observations (not more than 5 lines) referring to the item raised. These comments may be either in English, French or Dutch.
4. Surfers can also express their opinion on each of the four concluding remarks of the paper by clicking either “agree”, “do not agree” or “no opinion”.
5. Within two to four weeks, a global and final reaction will be provided in English by the Association so as to end the discussion on this particular item.
6. This final reaction will be general, will not refer to particular comments and will not necessarily cover all the questions raised;
7. Crude comments or aggressive language will be deleted and will not be reacted upon.
8. The first item chosen for this dialogue is the recent bomb attack in Madrid. Its purpose is to evaluate the risks of further terrorist acts involving Europe. Because this is a serious question for everybody, the dialogue has to be conducted in a serious and non-contentious way.
9. If the formula turns out to be successful and manageable, it will be continued in the future, possibly with some adjustments.
