What Went On: Process, Interaction, and Participation

The process included eight regional conferences with randomly selected citizens. In early November, all participants of the regional conferences (about 100 people in total) met for a final two-day meeting during which they drafted a report with policy recommendations.

Influence, Outcomes, and Effects

The final report was handed over to political authorities but its policy impact is unknown.
