I would like some feedback on points that I'm (and my civic tech community) making.</div><div><br></div><div>We started off by asking the county to implement a public, fiber optic, Internet backbone with a gateway to the Internet.</div><div><br></div><div>That lead to discussions about the public infrastructure, (transportation, land/buildings, health services, economic development, information technology, etc.) In these conversations, I stressed that we need to redefine government. Great opening, huh? <br></div><div><br></div><div>I would appreciate your experience and feedback on how the following points will play, and how to make them play better:<br></div><div><ol><li>Yes, we need full transparency. Reporting out must be full and curated for any specific audience from casual browser to full participant.<br></li><li>Plus, we need feedback mechanisms that actually work. This means collecting feedback at every stage from idea through to evaluation and having that feedback inform decisions at every stage and level.<br></li><li>In addition, we need multi-lateral conversations government/citizens (I use that word advisedly)/business. This means that in addition to reporting, informing decisions based on feedback, the governement needs to facilitate communications about government issues that take place between citizens and businesses.</li><li>The whole process looks more like a conversation about ideas and their implementation than a set of regulations and services.</li><li>I've also pushed for and received general agreement that we need to accommodate people who don't have access to technology, by creating clear multi-lateral communications at government buildings and throughout all agencies.</li></ol><div>So what are your thoughts? Is this a good tactic for bringing this to the county's attention in a manner that might result in some forward movement?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><span class="m_572234601158015088HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></font></span></div></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><span class="m_572234601158015088HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><div><div class="m_572234601158015088m_-1766622707361805251gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Steve Ediger<div><br><div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
