* via email: "Edmonton Insight Community is a group of Edmontonions who have agreed to engage consistently with the City on-line about a range of City issues. All Edmonton residents aged 15 and older can join. You can access the Community at [http://edmonton.ca/insightcommunity edmonton.ca/insightcommunity]. The Community was launched at the end of June and has been a great success so far. We would like to talk with you about how we can recruit an even larger and more diverse group of Edmontonions to the Community. We believe it is important to make you and the people you serve aware of the opportunity to join and seek guidance from you on how to make their experience as user friendly and meaningful as possible."

* Discussion notes:
**
**look at how city reaches out and engages with citizens; dealing with different demographic groups
**
**here to talk about one tool in particular: Edmonton Insight Community
***EBC represents an engaged interest group and leaders in our community, so EIC wants to engage with us
****one objective
*****to tell us about them (call land lines to engage public opinion, but 21% of Canadian households are cellphone-only, and 35 years and under are 61% - Stats Canada recognizes this an ineffective; people don't like to pick up numbers they don't know
******website: edmontoninsightcommunity.ca
******insight communities originated in private sector where firms didn't want to do calling; wanted to foster an online community of their customers - EIC is unique in that it is trying to apply it to government
****and three asks
*****consider joining individually
*****consider becoming an ambassador to tell people about EIC
*****if you have ways to improve the community, we want to hear that)
