CMA AGM 2006 - Online Policy Discussions

The Community Media Association is hosting a series of four online 
policy discussions in advance of the CMA AGM on 25 November 2006.  The 
results of each online discussion will be presented at the AGM and will 
include members’ recommendations on the CMA’s strategy in taking forward 
the sector’s policy campaigns over the next year.

The online discussions will cover the following themes:
1. The Government’s Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) in 2007
2. Ofcom’s review of the Community Radio sector
3. The sector’s campaign for Digital Community Television Licences
4. Developing the CMA – BBC Partnership

Today Phil Korbel from Radio Regen starts off the series with a 
discussion about strategies for influencing the Government’s 
Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) in 2007.  The review will set 
departmental spending plans and priorities for the years 2008-09, 
2009-10 and 2010-11.

Government has already started to lay the groundwork for the CSR and a
series of detailed reviews on specific cross-cutting issues are 
underway. This includes the recent ‘Review of the Future Role of the 
Third Sector in Social and Economic Regeneration.’  The Third Sector 
review aims to define the future role of the third sector in social and 
economic regeneration within the context of the long term challenges 
that our society faces.
