Open Questions
From Berlininaugust
Contents |
A result of our meeting could be one of the following three things:
- an EU-funding proposal
- a declaration
- a concept for a website
What else have you in mind? Just add some ideas.
Should we have a minimum of input?
A statement of Chris and Tom at the beginning? A presentation? A paper beforehand, in order to give people an idea what is the general idea we want to talk about? (using the internet as a better means for political communication between citizen, politicians, administration, economy - that sums it up, does it?)
Who would like to give an input/apresentation/a paper? Wishes for topics?
Goals, targets, wishes for outcomes?
How would you like to leave Berlin? Knowing more about certain topics? With a plan for a new online-project?
- Would it be a result to write down a number of hard quality criteria for e-democracy? Something the serious practitioners might stick to? Like the [rules of Dogma movies]? They will come up during the discussion anyway. Just keep a flip-chart ready.
- A master plan of how to make eParticipation a thing for the masses. There are so many good projects out there already but the majority of people does not know about it. Is that because of the types of projects or is there something wrong in the PR for these projects.
- I would like to discuss whether tools that help to assert rights vis-a-vis the state also considered eDemocracy? I'm thinking of anti-filtering, anonymizer stuff etc. --Tobiesch 16:48, 8 August 2007 (CEST)
- How can we teach people about what eDemocracy can do, what to expect from it? For example I feel that a lot of people are unsatisfied with it (e.g. online petitions) because they have unrealistic expectations. Is that the "fault" of the project or does the problem lie with "the people"? --Tobiesch 16:51, 8 August 2007 (CEST)
- Some common opinion on whether eDemocracy projects really need to be representative/inclusive for the whole population or whether this demand is bogging down progress. --Tobiesch 22:46, 8 August 2007 (CEST)
Equipment
Probably we will have access to one bigger room (up to about 25 people) and two smaller working-area-rooms (about 8 persons each). What do you think?
What we need?
- W-LAN (Christian Heise will take care of that)
- Beamer (politik-digital.de / Hertie School)
- flip chart and flip equipment (post its, cards, markers etc)
- name tags (badges)
- name signs (table)
What to bring?
- your laptop
