Hi all I'm new to the list and kinda new to OS.
I'm originally from Toronto, Canada but am currently in Venezuela doing research on the participatory democracy they are trying to achieve on the local level. You can read my story here http://get.cooptools.ca/why_venezuela I'd love to intruduce them to OS. I found the Spanish resources so that's a good start. My main question is how OS could fit in when they are used to open plenary debate followed by hand votes? They need formal decisions for the democratic governance of their communities but OS does not seem to provide such clear conclusions. Am I missing something? Are there any good examples of how OS could slide nicely into some kind of voting process? I have my ideas but I'd first like to hear from other more experienced folks. hasta pronto -jd -- ------------------------------------------------------- Jason Diceman Co-op Tools [email protected] www.cooptools.ca 416-538-2667 1-866-519-co-op ------------------------------------------------------- * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
