Who should be involved?
Ben Knight PublicSeen by 15Let’s think about people and groups/orgs that would be great to have in the conversation, and how to involve them.
In fact, the internet tells me that Charlie is defending his thesis at MIT Media Lab in about a week - on "Online tools for non-hierarchical, consensus-oriented decision making".
This couldn't be much more perfect :)
Would love to hear what Dazza and Jim think about the scope of participation
Would be great to have Charlie participate and perhaps share his thesis. Could serve as a framework for this effort...
Great idea @jameselste , I'll invite Charlie in! Do you have colleagues that you think might be interested in participating too?
Would be great to hear @dazzagreenwood1's thoughts on this too
That we all start inviting people in

I'm just wanting to check that people (esp Dazza and Jim) are happy with the basic framework before we invite a larger number of people in. What do people think?
I really should have gotten agreement on this before starting, but better late than never :)

I think we're good to go, but keen to hear what others think :)
I'm keen for really broadband multidisciplinary input, so long as it is held within a clear framework.
The more, the merrier. Framework will evolve with more participants...
I will invite a few folks to participate early next week, barring any change in course...
I extended the deadline on this a little because I know @dazzagreenwood1 has some great ideas about a bit more of a framework we could put in place before inviting a lot more people in. His comments below:
Here are some ideas on what we could be focused on and consequently how it could be focused/set up:
substance: ideas for how an API-oriented framework for discussion and decision apps/services could be composed and fit together and what it could achieve (and why)
process: what would be appropriate next steps toward, eg, gathering teams that have such apps/services to join the discussion, throwing out ideas for initial API like integrations and perhaps directories or repositories of participating apps/services, and/or framing the next segment of this topic on a sept/oct eCitizenSalon to further the idea (who would be invited, what would we discuss and/or demo, how could the broadcast be used to advance the idea, etc).
Also - I'd like to just go ahead and suggest something with the domain names, so that we can spend more time a) talking about the substance and process on it's merits and perhaps just confirm or modify use of the domain names depending on how the merits unfold and b) as a way to offer a vision on how the merits could look so as to catalyze the creative brainstorming phase"
Do you want to add anything Dazza?
I'd love to invite some people from the Loomio Community - one person that jumps to my mind is Charlie DeTar, who I believe is studying at MIT - maybe even in the Media Lab? I think this would be right up his alley.
On the less technical side of things, I'd love to bring in people like Michel Bauwens from P2P Foundation and Douglas Rushkoff (writer/media theorist). Both have been really supportive of Loomio, and I think would be excited by this project in particular.
