A specific emphasis of the panel’s work was to elicit the societal and ethical values that should guide OHTAC in developing its recommendations about whether and how technologies should be used in Ontario. The creation of the CRPHT represents early experimentation with a deliberative engagement method to incorporate public values and citizen perspectives into the highly expert-driven health technology assessment processes. The panel was established through a research collaboration between McMaster University, led by Dr. Julia Abelson (Department of Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics) and the Medical Advisory Secretariat of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, headed by Dr. Les Levin.","SummaryIn December 2008, a 14-member Citizens’ Reference Panel on Health Technologies (CRPHT) was established to inform the work of the Medical Advisory Secretariat (MAS) and the Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee (OHTAC), which produces...","Fri, 04/09/2010 - 17:40","Canada","No","Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 16:00","Monday, May 31, 2010 - 17:00","Health, Science & Technology","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial)","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers)","Open to all with targeted recruitment, Random Selection","Civic Lottery","Regional (e.g. State, Province, Autonomous Region)","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial), Academic Institution, For Profit Business","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial)","Yes"

With this in mind, the Canada Bay Council partnered with numerous groups such as Straight Talk and newDemocracy to create a panel of 36 randomly chosen individuals that was responsible for making the best decisions for the society as a whole. 1,500 surveys were created and distributed from the Council to citizens from the electoral roll, which is where the 36 random individuals were chosen. The panel met on 5 different occasions across a 2 ½ month period and was responsible for evaluating city services and creating a new system that included a projected 4-year plan with a $300 million budget. In more detail, the panel reviewed the standard and level of discretionary and mandatory services, as well as funding mechanisms. As a group, the panel was successfully able to identify services that were previously overlooked by the Council, reduced a number of overused services, recognized a shortage in funding for long-term maintenance and most importantly, found some new sources of revenue. All of these results were packaged together in a 45-page summary with further evaluations of the Council’s current operations. This summary was forwarded to the City Council and mayor for further evaluation and hopefully, approval.","In 2012, the City of Canada Bay Council proposed an innovative method of deliberative democracy  to obtain the advice of citizens in making decisions for the range and quality of council services for the period 2014-18.

One program created ten thousand community-managed health clinics, but all of these clinics failed due to non-transparent processes and biases towards elite membership in the councils which governed each clinic. The other program involved NGOs in the creation and direction of participatory Health Watch Committees, which used a more inclusive and transparent governing process-- although most committees closed to budget cuts in 2004, some still survive today.  The lack of legal accountability and authority hindered the effectiveness of both programs, but the Health Watch Committees have improved community health service awareness and advocated for better service provision.","SummaryIn 1998, the Bangladeshi government established two programs to strengthen democratic involvement in the public health system.  One program created ten thousand community-managed health clinics, but all of these clinics failed due to non-...","Wed, 01/27/2010 - 15:12","Bangladesh","No","","","Health","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation","National Government","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers), Co-governance (i.e. to share decision making with public authorities)","Appointment","Deliberation","National","National Government, Local Government (e.g. Village, Town, City), Community Based Organization, Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit)","National Government, Local Government (e.g. Village, Town, City), Community Based Organization","No"

<!--break-->
A key element of this project is the involvement of members of society into the research on innovative treatments of arthritis. We will set up a two-way dialogue at eye level between patients / citizens and leading European scientists in three European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Ireland). In the so-called patient and citizen panels (about 3 to 4 days) participants are first introduced to the field of innovative research on arthritis through expert presentations and a hearing with experts selected by the participants. In a second step, participants negotiate about this input and then compile patient-/ citizen-reports supported by independent facilitators. Therefore, the main objective of this work package is to discuss the chances, risks and ethical aspects of innovative arthritis treatments with lay people and to develop communication strategies to provide clinics, interested companies as well as the media and a broader public with balanced, professionally developed and scientifically sound information.
<!--break-->
Two main questions will be answered by the dialogue measures:
<!--break-->
1)    What do lay people (patients / citizens) want to know about GAMBA? What are their associations with GAMBA? What specific topics are they interested in from their special point of view as concerned patients / interested citizens?<!--break-->
2)    What are lay people’s recommendations to the scientific world, to regulators, industry and media regarding the chances, risks, ethical/social aspects of GAMBA?

It was organized by the New Jersey Coalition for the Public Good and was hosted in Trenton, New Jersey. The Coalition initially contacted 2,000 interest groups who would have an interest in tax reform. Eventually Coalition was able to narrow down the number to 100 with an aim towards diversity in beliefs, gender, and geography. In the end the Assembly hosted just fewer than 100 delegates. These delegates were originally shown a video on a few diverse expert opinions of New Jersey’s property tax structure. Next the delegates were given guides consisting of fact and important questions revolving around taxes in New Jersey. After being allowed an opportunity to create opinions delegates communicated in small group settings. They were each facilitated by trained facilitators; meant to guide conversation and record the viewpoints of the delegates. The purpose of the Assembly was to talk about reforms for a controversial New Jersey tax system and discuss steps that the State could take to move toward further fairness. After, the Assembly concluded The Coalition for the Public Good created a report consisting of the findings from The Assembly. This report has been shown and discussed at special meetings with the state. This Assembly has evolved into a much greater process as it now incorporates more people and more opinions state-wide.","SummaryThe New Jersey Peoples’ Tax Assembly was a deliberative event organized in 2003 by the New Jersey Coalition for the Public Good.  Its aim was to provide recommendations for specific steps leading to the reform of New Jersey’s tax system, commonly...","Tue, 01/03/2012 - 10:45","United States","No","","","Budgeting","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation","Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit)","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers)","Random Selection","Representative Town Meeting","Regional (e.g. State, Province, Autonomous Region)","Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit)","Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit), Philanthropic Organization (i.e. dedicated to making monetary grants or gifts)","Yes"

"Nueva línea ferroviaria de Alta Velocidad (LGV) París - Lyon ","Jorge Luis Colombo Ansaldi","Esquela para Participedia.net
Autor:			Ing. Jorge L. COLOMBO ANSALDI
Lugar y fecha:		Bologna, ITALIA, Diciembre 14 de 2011.-
_________________________________________________________________________________
PROYECTO DE LINEA FERROVIARIA DE ALTA VELOCIDAD
PARIS – ORLEANS - CLERMONT-FERRAND – LYON
FRANCIA

1.- Propósito y problema		
El propósito es la construcción de una línea ferroviaria de alta velocidad que una las ciudades de París, Orlèans, Clermont-Ferrand y Lyon. El problema consiste en facilitar el transporte y disminuir el tiempo de viaje entre esas ciudades importantes de Francia disminuyendo a un mínimo los impactos ambientales y territoriales.
2.- Historia
La voluntad de hacer una línea ferroviaria de alta velocidad a fin de reducir el tiempo de viaje entre París y Lyon y las principales ciudades intermedias, exige atravesar con un nuevo trazado, otras áreas del territorio distintas de las ocupadas por la red ferroviaria existente, a raíz de las condiciones más exigentes de diseño de una línea de alta velocidad, fundamentalmente debido a grandes radios de curvatura y nuevos diseños de las estaciones.   
También se encuentran problemas de impacto ambiental tanto visual como sonoro, y por todo ello se pone a disposición de las personas afectadas y las autoridades locales (por ejemplo intendentes y las fuerzas vivas), el anteproyecto y las variantes de traza diseñadas por la empresa ferroviaria francesa a fin de que se puedan emitir opiniones y reparos a su construcción.
3.- Entidades originarias y financiamiento
La entidad originaria del proyecto es Reséau Ferré de France, y en cuanto a lo concerniente a la participación de los ciudadanos, la institución responsable y financiadora es la Commision Nationale du Débat Publique -CNDP- quien actúa en cada ámbito a través de delegaciones, cada una de ellas denominadas Commision Particulier du Débat Publique – CPDP. 

4.- Selección de los participantes	
La participación de la ciudadanía fue promovida por esta comisión en primer lugar creando un sitio web especial para el debate público (www.lgv-pocl.fr) y paralelamente a través de medios de difusión pública, tales como un newsletter del proyecto (Le Journal du débat publique) y un vehículo con carteles que recorría las ciudades cercanas a la traza informando e invitando a participar. Ello se puede ver en el propio sito web. 
Por otra parte a fin de garantizar el pluralismo, la participación del público es libre y en el sitio se encuentran los lugares y horarios de reunión accesibles a todos.
4.1- Esquema del proceso participativo
1.	El presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Debate Público - CNDP – vista la relevancia e importancia de los bienes que puedan verse afectados por el trazado, decide que el proyecto debe ser sometido a debate público.
2.	Con ese motivo designó al presidente de la comisión particular –CPDP- cuya nominación recayó en un ingeniero con el rol fundamental de garantizar la participación y ser neutral. No obstante ello su formación académica permite que aclare ante el público conceptos útiles cuando hacen falta ciertas explicaciones técnicas o traducción de especificaciones a lenguaje comprensible por todos.
3.	Con la propuesta de dicho presidente de la Comisión Particular, la Comisión Nacional designó a los seis (6) integrantes de la CPDP.
4.	También decidió el plazo en que se desarrollará el debate público: 3 de octubre de 2011 a 31 de enero de 2012. (A la fecha todavía no finalizado).
4.2.- Temas tratados
Los temas tratados son: 
	  La conducción del proyecto 
	  La economia del proyecto 
	  El contexto y la situación actual
	  Los escenarios presentes en el debate 
	  El trazado de la línea LAV Paris-Lyon
	  El servicio de transporte 
	  La planificación del territorio 
	  La explotación de la ferrovía 
	  Los efectos sobre el ambiente 
	  La articulación con las demás trazas ferroviarias 
5.- Deliberaciones, decisiones e interacción pública
5.1.- La fase de aprendizaje
Se inauguró el debate público el 3 de octubre de 2011 y la CPDP puso a disposición del público en primer lugar los documentos de diseño de la línea ferroviaria, fundamentalmente su anteproyecto, una síntesis de la obra, el dossier, la cartografía de la zona de vía y estudios del territorio.
Asimismo la CPDP presentó las herramientas y normativas para que el público se exprese, los lugares y fechas de las reuniones y el sitio de internet interactivo. 
5.2.- La fase de escucha pública
En esta fase la CPDP pone a disposición del público hasta la finalización del debate (el 31 de enero de 2012), no sólo los lugares de reunión (con su organización correspondiente) a fin de que los diferentes participantes se escuchen entre sí, con infraestructura y mediante moderadores, sino que también publica sobre el Journal du débat publique ya mencionado, las propuestas del público (a la fecha ya han salido cuatro números del mismo), incluye videos de las intervenciones en el sitio web, las contribuciones escritas y orales y finalmente las preguntas.
Una contribución particularmente extensa fue presentada por el Consejo Regional de Auvernia sobre la estrategia de desarrollo y gestión del territorio en la zona de ubicación de la ferrovia. 
5.3.- La fase deliberativa
El presidente de la CPDP realizará un informe del debate público, en un lapso no superior a los dos meses de finalización del debate público. Asimismo el presidente de la CNDP (de nivel nacional) realizará un balance del proceso y sus resultados. 
Dicho informe y balance serán girados a la Dirección de Obra, es decir Reséau Ferré de France, la cual en un lapso no mayor de tres meses, debe tomar una decisión sobre lo decidido respecto de modificaciones o no al proyecto, informando de ello a la CNDP y hecho público.       
6.- Influencia, resultados y efectos  			
El proceso se encuentra todavía en desarrollo y a la fecha falta un mes y medio para terminar los debates. No obstante es de destacar la intervención de la intendente (Maire) de Roanne que ha subrayado que la reunión de ciudadanos en esa ciudad, ha constituído un punto de referencia importante en diversas facetas: en primer lugar que tuvo en este debate el primero en su tipo en la ciudad, en segundo lugar que ha favorecido el intercambio de ideas y propuestas, en tercero que involucró al público en el proyecto, que acercó la gente entre sí como un valor a destacar en sí mismo y finalmente – y asimismo  muy importante - que permite a una generación debatir lo que le van a dejar a las generaciones futuras.
7.- Análisis y críticas		
La principal crítica que se le puede hacer al proceso descripto es que la CNDP ha decidido designar motu propio tanto al presidente como a los integrantes de la CPDP, sin la participación del público. Las autoridades del debate son muy importantes en cuanto a su capacidad de gestionar la reunión y también en cuanto a ser neutrales. La nominación por parte del estado excluye entonces un proceso meta-participativo para estas nominaciones, que sería deseable -por coherente- con la participación pública que se busca. 
Por otro lado también fue fijada manu militari por la CNDP tanto la fecha de inicio como de finalización. 
Se comprende que el lapso de discusión del proyecto no puede ser sine die pero el tiempo instituído (cuatro meses) para discutir un proyecto de la magnitud y las implicancias que éste posee, parece a todas luces escaso, especialmente si se deben estudiar  propuestas técnicas, valorarlas en sus diversos aspectos, discutir impactos ambientales complejos y a la vez con todo ello construir un feedback con las razones por las cuáles se elige una y no otra de las soluciones.

The Oregon CIR is intended to give voters clear, useful, and trustworthy evaluations of initiatives on the ballot. During election time, voters receive an abundance of information through the media, but most of it is meant to influence, not inform. Campaigns to pass initiatives are filled with ""spin"" and ""political noise."" Healthy Democracy Oregon (HDO), a non-profit organization, was designed to help create and promote the Oregon CIR. The purpose of the Oregon CIR is to allow a random sample of Oregon citizens to learn important facts about an initiative, hear the pros and cons of each initiative, deliberate on the initiative, and then relay that information to the voters of Oregon via a one-page Citizens' Statement summarizing their findings and positions. This Citizens' Statement, which is added to the voter’s pamphlet -- a booklet, published by the government, that gives citizens information about candidates and ballot measures to be voted on in an election -- is designed to give voters facts and perspectives that they may not have gotten on their own.","PurposeThe Oregon Citizen Initiative Review (Oregon CIR) is a Citizens' Initiative Review designed to allow citizens of the U.S. state of Oregon to evaluate statewide ballot initiatives.

Frente Amplio-Encuentro Progresista (FA-EP), the ruling political party in Montevideo, Uruguay, implemented this program in 1990 after winning the 1989 election. The program entails the transference and distribution of social, political and economic power, allowing citizens to make decisions on matters of interest to the community. The idea is to “transform the state-society relationship, creating a new public space where issues crucial to the quality of the lives of the great majorities, are discussed”. [4] Participatory decentralization remains a key element of Montevideo’s political system today.

In 2007, a decision was approved by the Zola Predosa Administration to go through with a construction project that aimed to renew and build housing in an underdeveloped area.  Some of the locals of Zola Predosa were baffled at the decision and expressed discontent due to the project’s impact on traffic and the environment. As a response, the Zola Predosa Administration designed a Participatory Planning Workshop (PPA). Through this participatory process, the Zola Predosa Administration sought to increase the awareness of the locals, get their suggestions and ultimately to carry out the construction project with more public support. Despite the presence of willing participants and experts who provided information, the participatory workshop failed to reach its stated goals. The legitimacy of the process fell into question and dissatisfied participants quit the process. Hence, this is an interesting case of failure in participatory activities.

"Public Engagement in Five Colorado School Communities","Kmcguane","The reforms which have swept through public education during the last two decades have largely been initiated in state legislatures or the United States Congress. The greater part of all these reform efforts have focused on the professional side of public education. These are not reforms initiated by local communities and have not been, for the most part, designed to permit influence and direction from local communities. In other words, school boards, in Colorado the traditional repository of community values and direction for our schools, are being hustled off to the side of the stage. It is the goal of CASB to revitalize the role of locally elected school boards in public schools in the face of comprehensive reform legislation initiated at both the state and federal level in the last three years. The role of local school boards may be revitalized only if boards find ways to meaningfully engage their publics.

Al incluir la participación en el plan de maximizar la calidad de las políticas que se implementan, cobra particular relevancia el caso de la inclusión de los sectores más pobres, esto porque se plantea un mayor desafío en la integración de las personas en el proceso. Para el caso de las políticas de vivienda, esto puede entenderse dado que se espera participación en torno a un bien altamente valorado, antes inaccesible, y por lo tanto se pronostica que los efectos de esta intervención  -como el logro de una mayor integración social-  sean fuertes y permanezcan en el tiempo.

Es un proceso que nace en el año 2008, del seno de la Municipalidad de Rafaela, a través de la Secretaría de Gestión y Participación como órgano técnico, y tiene como órgano ejecutor al Consejo Consultivo Social, que es un órgano integrado por las distintas instituciones de la ciudad. La primera etapa fue la de recolección de información y diagnóstico de las problemáticas presentes y futuras. Con aquella documentación se establecieron 5 ejes de acción, desde los cuales se realizaron diversos talleres ciudadanos, conferencias, mesas de trabajo, entre otras actividades, junto a instituciones de la sociedad civil, funcionarios, facilitadores y ciudadanía en general. Luego de las actividades se realizaron conclusiones que se registran en informes. En cada eje de acción se realizó un informe que permite observar cuáles son las problemáticas presentes a trabajar, los lineamientos a futuro, y una serie de recomendaciones. 
Desde el año 2010 la Agenda comienza a funcionar y crear outputs a través de diversas actividades, obras y proyectos correspondientes a los ejes y lineamientos trazados durante la etapa de elaboración.

"The Use of Machizukuri After the 1995 Earthquake (Kobe, Japan)","JoyousTerra","In January of 1995, greater Kobe, Japan experienced a high intensity earthquake called the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake.  In March of 1995, the City of Kobe local government issued plans for “Designation of Land Readjustment and Redevelopment Areas.”  These plans created controversy between the residents and the local government because the government made their decisions for rehabilitation without negotiating or consulting with the residents that the plans would impact.  Machizukuri citizen groups were used as part of the Kobe rehabilitation process, such as in Rokko, Japan in the North District.  Machizukuri has existed in Japan since the 1960s and was used to engage residents in bettering their own communities, and to engage in dialogue with the local government in order to create accountability.  The Japanese term Machizukuri translates to mean ""town or community building process.""  The essential pillars of Machizukuri were to bond, bridge, and link social capital; in other words, to create community unity, a multi- social sector network, and to get involved in government decision-making.  Within this structure, the concept of a town meeting, deliberation, consensus building, negotiation, information and opinion sharing, and local leadership are also fundamental aspects of the best functioning citizen participation examples.  This case study discusses how the North District (Rokko) used Machizukuri to impact the local government’s community plans and establish their own initiative in the 1990s. ","Background:In January of 1995, greater Kobe, Japan experienced a high intensity earthquake called the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake.  The damage extended into Kyoto, Osaka, and Hyogo.  Just in Hyogo alone, over 240,000 homes burned or collapsed as a...","Mon, 01/02/2012 - 12:23","Japan","No","","","Community Development, Environment, Planning (e.g. Urban planning, Transportation, etc.)","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation, Negotiate & Bargain, Express opinions/preferences only","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial)","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers), Co-governance (i.e. to share decision making with public authorities), Collaborative delivery of services with public authorities, Raise public awareness, Community building (e.g. social capital)","Other","Deliberation","Local (e.g. Neighbourhood, City/Town, Metropolitan Area)","Community Based Organization, Individual","Local Government (e.g. Village, Town, City), Community Based Organization, Individual","No"

November 2010 abgehalten wurde. Das isländische Parlament hatte dazu als Antwort auf den ökonomischen Zusammenbruch des Landes, der im Oktober 2008 zum Absturz des Aktienmarktes, der Währung und der Banken führte, aufgerufen. Aufgrund der nationalen Proteste und Lobby-Bemühungen von zivilen Organisationen, entschlossen sich die Regierungsparteien dazu, dass Islands Bürger an der Erstellung einer neuen Verfassung beteiligt werden sollten. Dabei wurden die laufenden Experimente der Anthill Gruppe mit einer neuen Form demokratischer Innovation, nämlich das Nationalforum 2009, begrüßt und in den Verfassungsbildungsprozess aufgenommen. Anthill kann als ein loses, gemeinnütziges Netzwerk von Individuen (vor allem Fachleute), die sich mit der fehlenden Kooperationen und Kommunikation zwischen Islands Bürgern in Bezug auf ihre politische Zukunft während der Zeit der ökonomischen und politischen Krise beschäftigen, verstanden werden. Die Mitglieder von Anthill kommen aus unterschiedlichen politischen Richtungen. Zusammenfassend kam das Nationalforum 2010 vor allem durch die Bemühungen der zwei Regierungsparteien und der Anthill Gruppe zustande. Ziel des Forums war es, eine Liste von Grundwerten und -visionen zu erstellen, die repräsentativ für die isländischen Bürger ist. Die Resultate des Forums wurden als Basis für die konstitutionelle Revision benutzt. Ein siebenköpfiges Verfassungskomitee, das vom Parlament einberufen wurde, beaufsichtigte das Forum und die Präsentation der Resultate, während die Organisation und die Moderation des Nationalforums 2010 von der Anthill Gruppe betreut wurde.
