چکیده

For IS academics to provide political consulting and to offer expertise in political decision making would seem to open enormous opportunities for 'doing good' and for reinforcing the relevance of the IS field. However, the contributions of IS academics to political decision making are minor compared to our colleagues in other fields. This panel will offer the personal views of panel members on their involvement in different political activities and will explore the pros and cons of senior and junior IS academics getting involved in these activities from an individual's, a school's, and a community's perspective. It should be of interest to those who wish to learn about political consulting in the field of IS, to those who have been involved in political activities, and to those who want to discuss the role of ICT-related experience in the field of public decision making and regulation.
