CIVIC.NET/ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY
CIVIC.NET
A separate computer network provided by the governments of
Canada for their citizens. It would be non-commercial, for the
civil activities of the citizens of Canada. It could be used for
everything from political parties to community soccer groups.
ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY
Decision making should be in the hands of the citizens. With the
Civic.net in place, a central computer could query individual
citizens' political database of the citizens' ideas, to determine
their response to any given question. If an answer to the question
cannot be determined from the database, a question could be left
for the citizen to respond to which would then expand the citizens'
data base.
