The Members of France's Citizens' Assembly on End of Life want to be heard.

Does France's pension reform controversy highlight the need for deliberative democracy?

tl;dr - yes.

Great interview with Yves Sintomer. We need more deliberative assemblies that have real power and are not just consultative.

In both cases, the demand for permanent Citizens’ Assemblies has come from the people. @AnouchToranian @DemocracyNext #delibwave

The more someone is affected, the more she should be part of the decision-making process.
That's a useful strategy for self-management.

🥁 Guess what?
In participatory democracy too

Good piece on deliberative democracy for AI governance by @cookie.

The breadth of examples is even wider than suggested as well - the OECD #delibwave database that @ICesnulaityte and I created has ~600 cases.

Lots of good practice to learn from https://www.oecd.org/governance/innovative-citizen-participation/

Normally, I am not fan of time tracking. But… I can see now that time tracking can be a great way to value participation. Imagine impact mesurements based on participation time ❤️

For #decidim folks, I've updated a module for time tracking (by Platoniq). You can try it on 0.26.4. Thanks to https://mkutano.community for financing it 🎉
