    Mr. Vice-President:

    Elaine, Michael Messinger and I have worked up the attached program for

    the International Rego conference, tentatively scheduled for early

    January, 1999.  Principle funding will come from Ford Foundation.  Ideas

    and dates have been coordinated with Leon's team.  In case we don't get a

    chance to talk about this before your vacation, your  reactions and

    comments would be appreciated so we can stay on our schedule for

    completing the conference arrangements. (Elaine doesn't want to go to Ford

    Foundation with final program until we have your sign off.)

    If you are OK with the direction we are taking, we will also nail down

    specific dates in January since invitations will need to be sent this

    month.

    Morley

    Subject: Proposed international rego conference

    Title: Innovations in Government: A Global Forum on Reinventing Government

         Moderated by Vice President Al Gore

    Location: (proposed) Ronald Reagan Building Ampitheatre (it has ample room

    and translation equipment)  Washington, D.C.

    Audience:  Ministerial level government officials with some responsibility

    for government reform from approximately 31 countries where some government

    reform activity is in progress.  Also, officials from key international

    organizations such as the OECD, the EC, the World Bank and the IADB.

    Altogether, approximately 250 official delegates.  Also, representatives of

    Ford Foundation Innovations winners and other examples of "best practices"

    Academics who study government innovation.

    Sponsors:  The Ford Foundation, The John F. Kennedy School of Government,

    Brookings (?), the World Bank, the Inter American Development Bank, The

    Council for Excellence in Governemnt.

         Plenary Session #1 10:00 am  - Noon

              Government in the Information Age.

               Welcome  by Susan Beresford, President of the Ford Foundation

    and Dean Joe Nye, Kennedy School of Government.

              Keynote Address - Vice President Al Gore.

              The Vice President's remarks will be followed by a panel

    discussion on the challenges facing governments around the world, on the

    pressures to change that arise from global economic competition,  from

    rapid democratization, and from aging social welfare states to name just a

    few of the causes of movements to innovate and reinvent government.  This

    panel should consist of the highest level elected officials from around the

    world who are also conversant with government innovation and reinvention

    such as Prime Minister Jenny Shipley.  It should include non western

    countries and should include developing countries.  This panel should focus

    on the "why now" aspect of government reinvention and should distinguish

    innovation from government reform.

         Lunch  - (Guest Speaker - Perhaps POTUS)

         Breakout sessions 2:00 - 3:00 (approximately 12) would be facilitated

    by reinventors from governments around the world and would feature Ford

    Foundation Innovations Winners as examples of Best Practices.

         Plenary Session #2 - 3:15 - 4:30

              Citizens, Governments and the Challenges of Service in the 21st

    Century

              Moderated by Vice President Al Gore

         This session would open with a discussion of what governments around

    the world are doing to make service to the citizen more efficient and more

    effective.  Two or three Best Practices featuring customer service would be

    drawn from Innovations winners in the U.S. and abroad and would also

    feature examples from the U.K. and other countries who have been working

    hard on the Citizen's Charter concept (and where there are no innovations

    programs.)  After presentation of the cases chosen, the Vice President

    would lead a discusssion focusing on the challenges facing managers as they

    try to serve citizens.  After the case studies are presented the Vice

    President will call on individuals from different governments who have had

    direct experience in trying to increase customer service.

         Reception/Dinner 7:30 pm

    DAY 2

         Plenary Session #3  9:00 - 11:00

         Getting Results: Assesing Government Performance

         Moderated by Vice President Al Gore

         This session would open with a discussion of how governments are

    attempting to measure their progress and how they are being held

    accountable.  Again, two or three best practices in terms of measurement

    and management would be featured from among the Ford Foundation Innovation

    winners and others if necessary.  The role of "control" agencies such as

    OMB in the U.S. and Treasury in the U.K. should be explored and their role

    in helping innovation evaluated.

         Breakout Sessions 11:15 - 12:15 (approximately 12) would be

    facilitated by reinventors from governments around the world and would

    feature Ford Foundation Innovations Winners as examples of Best Practices.

         Lunch 12:30 - 1:30

         Plenary Session #4 2:00 - 3:00

         Using Information Technology to Transform Government

         Moderated by Vice President Al Gore

         This session would consist of actual demonstrations of how information

    technology is transforming governments around the world.  Again, best

    practices would be drawn from Ford Foundation Innovation winners from

    around the world.  The discussion should then explore the next generation

    of information technologies and how they will transform government.

         Closing Session 3:00 - 4:00

         Next Steps and Concluding Remarks

         Vice President Al Gore

    Subject: Proposed international rego conference

    Elaine:

    I gave VP your email on international REGO agenda yesterday and he called

    back today with his approval. YEAH!  The only change he wants to make is

    to talk to POTUS about having international leading reinventor speak at

    lunch instead (to give it more international flavor and  help validate

    from outside NPR's achievements.) I am supposed to remind  him of that

    with next POTUS lunch memo.  He also asked about dates and I told him Jan.

    14/15 was a go and done so that it couldn't be impacted by SOTU timing.

    Totally OK with him.  See you for our planning meeting on Sept. 10.
