Posted on the wall:
At approximately 3:30pm today, we will review the results of the Dotmocracy process and suggest the formation of a number of break-out Action Sessions that will each create a draft plan to turn the popularly supported ideas in to reality.
The results of this Dotmocracy process will be published on the www.BikeUnion.to website within two weeks following the event.
As the public are embracing and taking ownership of their public spaces more and more, certainly facilitation has to accommodate this, and make more productive the process to involve the community - a tool like Dotmocracy would definitely be helpful.
