Hello, dear colleagues -
I just dropped in to the Obama administration site inviting ideas for
collaboration, transparency and engagement.
Such interesting reading, from folks recommending the de-
criminalization of marijuana to people interested in tax reform, to
people like me interested in dialogue and inter-group learning.
I invite you to come visit my ideas and those of others, mark those
ones you feel strongly about, and perhaps post some of your own.
(thanks, dear Artur - what a pleasure to hear from you - I never liked
that word 'vote')
It's an odd and interesting experience - I balance my feelings of 'oh
it is so American to create a marketplace where it's all about the
fastest and the most'' to 'oh I see they are noticing this, starting
somewhere with good intention and the best design they know - and that
is how everyone learns when they try or start new things. And gee how
amazing they are trying something U.S. government has never done
before to invite ideas for innovation and engagement'. Sure, they'll
improve, and many people are offering great feedback. But wow - this
is refreshing and fascinating...
Here are my three ideas:
Increase the use of dialogic methods in business, government, non-
profit and community

Design Training and Education to be interactive, participant-centered
and experiential
http://opengov.ideascale.com/akira/dtd/3866-4049
Teaching citizens how to facilitate and experience true dialogue
http://opengov.ideascale.com/akira/dtd/3325-4049
It's all rather fascinating. Come take a visit and see what inspires
you, makes you wonder, makes you be amazed at how different people
are, invites you to post your own ideas...
(I don't see anywhere where it says you must be a U.S. citizen to
participate...so hey, world neighbors, come on in...! Don't let the
U.S. be a closed system...we are interrelated with you all...)
