The International Working Group on Online Consultation and Public Policy Making
I am pleased to announce the launching this week of the NSF-supported (via the Center for Technology and Governance at SUNY) International Working Group on Online Consultation and Public Policy Making. We will be meeting 4 times over the coming year, with the Program on Networked Governance will be hosting the opening meeting of the working group at the Kennedy School this Friday/Saturday. The initial component of the meeting is public (see details below). The overarching questions motivating the working group’s mission will be (a) how to evaluate the policy and other social impacts of online citizen consultation initiatives aimed at influencing actual government decision making, and (b) how the optimal design of such initiatives is affected by cultural, social, legal and institutional context. There will be a variety of outputs from our work, aimed at both academia and the policy world, including a report evaluating the policy and design issues with respect to online deliberation, and a book.
Practicing what we preach, ideas/suggestions on what we should pursue should be posted here, with links to work and resources in this area. I will make sure that anything (reasonable) posted enters the discussion in some fashion (with credit, of course).
The event this Friday:
Peter Shane (Ohio State University) & Stephen Coleman (University of Leeds)

This looks excellent David. Colleagues here in New Zealand are working on the development of a guide to online participation for agencies here. Would be keen to connect with any thinking you are doing, especially around evaluation and design factors (two preoccupations of ours).
Will there be any audio/visual of Friday's launch?

David, thanks for the connection. We are taping the event and will put it online. Would be interested in hearing about what you are doing in New Zealand-- feel free to add some details in comments on this posting.

Hi David,
Details of some of what we're up to are here: http://www.e.govt.nz/policy/participation.
We also did a guest post on one of NZ's more popular blogs describing the project. You can find that here: http://www.publicaddress.net/default,3964.sm#post
Right now, we're using a wiki to develop the guide along with a 'community of practice' in online participation. We aim to have draft of a guide to online participation for the NZ state sector later this year.
If you or others are keen to be involved in the CoP, we'd be happy to have you along. We can organize an invite to the wiki, which for now is invite only.
Will look forward to hearing from you...
