Steven Clift – Minnesota E-Democracy Lessons Eight years is a long time online.

Steven Clift – Minnesota E-Democracy Lessons 1. Declare victory. Set reasonable expectations. Building momentum is more important than immediate success. Answer why question every step of the way. Goal: To improve the outcome of the public policy process with effective and meaningful citizen participation. 2. Many-to-many discussions represent the unique strength of this new medium. One-way content is a carry over from old media and political communication. Geography matters. The more local, the more relevant to a broader cross-section of the population. 3. Facilitation is essential. Moderation is not. Focus conversations on issues to overcome personal and ideological conflict.

Steven Clift – Minnesota E-Democracy Lessons 4. Building civic space is a public good. Non-partisan, advocacy neutral online public spaces for information exchange will not exist without public interest efforts. 5. is king. Participants and readers are key to value. Value of and convenience is supreme, often underestimated. Web-only systems tend to work with larger audience sites, highly motivated users, or for special online events and consultations. 6. Sustainability. Promoting self-governance and volunteer spirit key to sustainability. 7. Scalability limited by current all-volunteer foundation. However, complete professionalization of facilitation would make expansion unaffordable while professional training and outreach required.

Steven Clift – Minnesota E-Democracy Lessons 8. Expansion requires resources for coordination, training, promotion, distributed management/facilitation and adjudication. 9. Technical barriers exist. Use of proprietary software tools and lack of access to technical expertise to adapt open source options limits our advancement as well as the long-term potential of our model to expand in a cost-effective way within and beyond Minnesota. 10. Conversation has value. Think agenda-setting among opinion leaders and media. Build respect among participants and foster public opinion formation. Worry about the direct influence on government decision-making process later.
