An online consultation or e-consultation is the use of electronic computing and communication technologies in consultation processes. Online consultations can be effective tools in encouraging participation and gathering responses to consultation documents and social policy issues as part of a broader range of methodologies. This form of participation has no minimum or maximum amount of individuals who can participate. It also usually allows participants the freedom of selecting what time to engage in participation and how often.

Definition

Citizen Conferences allow for citizens to deliberate and provide policy recommendations for a government entity.  The government entity can then use these recommendations to better meet the needs of its citizens.

Participants

The participants in citizen conferences are selected randomly to represent the diverse sets of opinions and demographics of a region (e.g. a State).  These participants are usually ordinary citizens, not stakeholders or professional lobbyists.
