Over the weekend I met Tonya Gonzalez, the director of the Deliberative
Democracy Consortium. I enjoyed her insights very much. She just
emailed a link to the following information on what she and her
colleagues
are doing. I don’t know much about it yet, but enough to note
that their’s
seems to be a community that is engaged in practical learning about how
to make
democracy work–and that they appear to constitute a distinct community
from the bloggers like myself that make up the informal “emergent
democracy” ecosystem. I think that the two communities may be
able to learn from each other. So Tonya, check out Joi Ito
and his paper on “Emergent Democracy,” and Joi, Britt and others, check out
Tonya’s work:

is an approach to decision-making in which citizens consider relevant
facts from multiple points of view, converse with one another to
think critically about options before them and enlarge their perspectives,
opinions, and understandings.
>Deliberative
democracy strengthens citizen voices in governance by including
people of all races, classes, ages and geographies in deliberations
that directly affect public decisions. As a result, citizens influence–and
can see the result of their influence on–the policy and resource
decisions that impact their daily lives and their future.
