3. The Party of Open?
David Hardwick suggested that we be the party of open, namely:
* Open Government - increased government transparency * Open Culture - limited copyrights & more sharing * Open Innovation - no patents
A few unresolved questions:
* How to make increased personal privacy open? * How to make reining in corporations open? * Is Open Government or Open Democracy more true to our ideals and objectives?
Erik noted:
"open" is one of the critical ideas but not the only one. We're also the party of the human being, which explains the personal privacy and reining in corporations.
I think open government is the right phrasing. I also believe in participatory government. Democracy may be the best model so far, but we should be willing to try something even better in the future.
2. Public policy questions to put on the Nov. 2012 ballot?
