Request for comments/suggestions for a new web site

Sunbather are an award-winning website design and New Media company based in
London, England.

We have recently been commissioned by a high profile petrochemical
multinational to redesign its Web site. The company itself currently invites
people to comment on its working practises and ethics through forums on its
site: we are aiming to build on this to create an arena to facilitate
dialogue and reflect the interests of all members of society. It is worth
stressing that there is not now, nor will there be, any censorship (with the
exception of bad language and sexual content) of postings to the site�s
forums. We cannot, at this time, say who our client is, but we will be back
in touch when the site re-launches to give you the URL so that you can judge
for yourselves how we have done in our task.

We are currently in the research phase of this project, and are writing to
relevant NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations), protest groups and web sites
to find out what they would like to see on such a site in terms of content,
and to elicit suggestions and proposals which can then be used as a basis on
which to move forward. We have already made preliminary contacts with
Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Amnesty International, VSO etc � we
positively welcome any comments or suggestions which any interested parties
may have. At the end of the research period we shall be writing a report to
present to the company concerned detailing our findings and suggesting how
to move forward to create content for the site.

Possible topics which you may care to consider might include:

1/ How could such a forum for debate best be achieved?

2/ What content would you like to see on such a site?

3/ Would you be prepared to take part in online discussion forums?

4/ What Government/Industry/Social/Entertainment leaders/figures would you
like to see hosting online discussion forums?

These are just suggestions � we are interested in anything which you might
have to say.

The deadline for feedback is Friday 13th March, and we look forward to
hearing from you.

Yours,

Ian Westbrook,
