Digital Democracy - Options for ICA to Advance Platform Cooperatives

The link to the paper doesn't work :( well, not without a Micro$oft login...
Do you have another link that is open?

It's weird that I can access, but I don't go anywhere near MS.

Oh, the irony. Hiding a discussion paper on digital cooperation behind a corporate login.

Just spent 10 minutes trying and failing to jump through the M$ hoops.

OK. I'll ask Ed if there is a more accessible link. Meanwhile here's a PDF

What sort of response are the ICA looking for?

We at Common Knowledge would be very much up for replying to this, so ask the same question as Graham.

Here's the feedback form.

So what I'm seeing here appears to be an internal consultation exercise between the ICA and its members? I am concerned that people might put time and effort into a response that is simply ruled out as ineligible. Is there a clear channel for feedback that is acceptable to ICA? (For example, is Co-operatives UK as an ICA member open to receiving feedback and collating that).

I'll check. Ed is happy to share this, but as you say @graham it could be that feedback does need to channel thru an ICA member -watch this space.

Please let me know on here how this has to operate. Cheers!

I can confirm Co-operatives UK is a direct member of the ICA on behalf of its members.

Hi all,

I've chased this up and the ICA are taking feedback from any source, but of course will be differentiating between member and non-member responses as this is designed for ICA members.

Anyone who is a direct member of the ICA should have access to the documents (we have fed back that the lack of open source sharing on this is as impractical as it is ironic) and may respond directly.

Anyone else who isn't an ICA member but is a member of Co-operatives UK, directly or indirectly, may respond to us and we will collate responses from UK co-ops. There will be a link on CUK social media shortly and of course you're welcome to contact me here or directly with questions or contributions.

Cheers @michelleparkinkell . Thanks for offering to collate responses on this. If you could update this thread too when the Co-operatives UK link is live, that would be great.
