Sign us up to help. I’m heading to Gov2.0Camp this week in DC – will be raising questions about how what we’ve learned/are learning about on-line/off-line policy-making and public engagement at the (formal) federal level translates into state, local, and community-based efforts. Does anyone have a good visual? I’d love to do a slide that compares policy1.0 (expert driven, engagement as one step in process) to policy2.0 (engagement all the time, against backdrop of highly networked, nonlinear process model). The other obvious challenge the online version raises is decision-making – even the Obama administration ran into a buzz saw there.

I’ve been thinking about that, too.

I am convinced that the web will play an ever increasing role in public participation or civic engagement projects. At the same time, though, each project is unique and will always require careful balancing between offline and online components. Some project may not benefit from online at all.

For the purpose of the current document, I’m wondering whether an additional principle dedicated to the use of online tools, social media etc. is warranted or whether that may be something we’d want to put into a separate recommendation.

The currently seven principles apply to both online and offline efforts alike, in my view.

Maybe a simple statement that the use of online is encouraged where appropriate and that the same principles apply is all we need.

I am honored to be a part of this project. We need to add a principle related to the use of social media and other tech tools.

Great Tim – I look forward to hearing what people are saying – together with other groups like NCDD and IAP2 – an informal briefing is being held with the Obama Administration on the directive – so all this discourse is food for all the conversations that are being had!
