How can new forms of communication improve participation?

Suggestions for the international Network and connection with the Foundation

We have two meeting in Dayton the Spring and the Summer Workshops. (…) I think perhaps… it is realy a pitty that this network of people has so little time to work together. One of the main reason is geography, not only time difference. It is hard to work together with someone in other country. In this respect – A coordination from the foundation could help (the foundation could facilitate joint research, connections among the fellows).

Quotes/Insights

[Even with new forms of communication and online participation] “(…) the quality of the discussion of public issues has not become better” [He provides an interesting example on how he advised his students who were in an uprising to organize a forum on the situation].
