And now we have a panel 'Growing the Open Society: Tech and democratic innovation' with @fecampagnucci.com, @colinmegill.com from Polis (a real time system for gathering and analysing what real people think), and Lula Chen from MIT Governance Lab. #TICTeC

I might go as far as to say that the attempt to “get past” process is actually a part of that problem because it further undermines the attempt to have the conversation we need about process.

This has to be critical assumption of next generation of dem tech

or thinking that what they believe is the answer will appear unattractive to the "hoi poloi" and therefore needs to be hidden. Making the case for why I think this is bad practice is hard to do briefly, but I think it is a strategic mistake.We cannot "get past" process. We must improve on it.

I hardly ever draw on paper anymore and I miss it. I miss the results.
