White paper from the U.S. advocating five strategies to revive civic communication:
- Create a Civic Information Corps using the nation’s “service†infrastructure to generate knowledge.
- Engage universities as community information hubs... so that colleges and universities create forums for public deliberation
- Invest in face-to-face public deliberation... offering training, physical spaces, and neutral conveners and... require public officials to pay attention
- Generate public “relational†knowledge.... to make transparent the structures of our communities.
- Build an advocacy network that debates and defends public information and
knowledge.
The idea, and I support it, is to engage in a form of open government that is more than merely open information, but actively includes the public in the governance structure itself. Via Ron Lubensky.
