ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Civic Exchange would like to thank Nancy and Peter Thompson for assisting with the costs involved in this Project, without which this Project would not have been possible. We wish to thank YIP Yan-yan for managing this Project. Without her conscientious assistance, this Project would not have gone so very smoothly. Rana Dias helped us with the excellent designs for many aspects of this Project, and Elizabeth Hutton and Veronica Galbraith both provided excellent editorial support work.

Civic Exchange is especially pleased to have collaborated with Colin Day and his team at the
Hong Kong University Press on the production of Building Democracy: Creating Good
Government for Hong Kong, Michael DeGolyer and Cheung Pui-ki of the Hong Kong

Transition Project on conducting two surveys, SynergyNet and the National Democratic Institute on creating the District Council Election pamphlet, Alice and Robert Evans of the Plowshares Institute and Ivy Ning of PeoplePlus on sharing facilitation skills, the Article 45 Concern Group for the distribution of the Voter Registration pamphlet, and Albert Chau and Yvonne Yuen of the University of Hong Kong on a specially designed general education course on the District Council Election. We are also grateful to the many authors, individuals and organisations for taking part in this Project.
