nice presentation

[Danalexa1]

Your approach would be very helpful in highly structured discussions where problem solving is the objective. It would be great to know how the deliberatorium process fares in a public policy options development or consensus process. Also requires a fairly pliable group of participants to stick with the rules of the game. Also a transparent process may be threating in some circumstances where there are power struggles that manifest themselves as competing ideas/solutions.

cool

wow - this is great - to answer the previous comment based on just watching the presentation is there is typing of "topics" into issues, ideas, and arguments - there is much more structure present. Mark, you'd have to verify this but you definitely have my interest!

Great!

Mark - This is interesting, but you can explain how this is substantively different than tools like BaseCamp and topically-threaded social networking tools? I'm sure there's a lot of nuance but I couldn't quite grasp it from the video. This is a serious inquiry, so feel free to contact me by e-mail if you like.
