Benefits of online deliberation…
• more time to react
• more information
• more ability to participate

The challenges

Information tools don’t supportgroup action

Online deliberation is happeningon a large scale for…
• Very small groups (~3-4 people)
• Somewhat larger groups when like-minded
• Technically proficient groups (e.g. open sourcedevelopment)
• Professional/workplace teams
![Page 33: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Assertion: Online democraticdecision making is not
happening on a large scale forgrassroots groups.

The Deme/Groupspace.orgapproach
![Page 48: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Consider these groups...
• Volunteer advisory boards• Neighborhood associations• Consortia of nonprofits• Grassroots activist groups• Labor union chapters and caucuses• Clubs and religious congregations• University-based groups• Ad-hoc citizen groups (e.g. for community
planning)
![Page 49: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Groups do things like...• Get to know each other and share information• Define their mission and goals• Make and observe rules (e.g. bylaws)• Plan joint activities• Make budgets and spend money• Issue joint statements (e.g. press releases,
flyers)• Form committees and work with other groups• Keep and retrieve records of all these things
![Page 50: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
So what's the problem?
![Page 51: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
In fast-paced regions people arehaving a harder and harder time
getting together for meetings
![Page 52: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Much group communication mustbe asynchronous (people
participate at different times,different places)
![Page 53: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Existing and widely availableasync tools (email, message
boards, blogs, wikis) are not wellsuited to group action
![Page 54: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
So... group activity either doesn'thappen (“bowling alone”)
or…
![Page 55: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
it is managed by paidprofessionals/the few who have
time
![Page 56: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
And so we have...• “Inner circles” and managers rather than group
democracy – professionalization of advocacyand service
• Fewer opportunities to meaningfully take part ingroups and movements
• People sticking to their narrow social circles• Elections that are determined by TV ads and
expensive, influence techniques (e.g.“perception management”)
• Citizens who don't vote/don't take votingseriously
• Politicians who are accountable to lobbyistsmore than to constituents
![Page 57: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
What is needed?
![Page 58: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
An asynchronous (available at differenttimes, different places) tool for online
group deliberation
![Page 59: From Messages to Meetings: The Promise ... - web.stanford.edudavies/TED06-Davies.pdf · information dissemination and group communication. ... group action. Online deliberation is](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090517/604438f3e39346237264cc05/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
And it should be...
• freely available• nonproprietary (controlled by the group)• Comprehensive• easy to use*• widely compatible with hosting
environments• trustworthy (secure, transparent)

Thus... Deme• Begun in 2003 out of PIECE: partnership with
East Palo Alto Community Network(http://piece.stanford.edu), student programmers
• “demes”: geographically-based communities(originally, districts of ancient athens)
• Target: enhancing legitimacy/effectiveness ofcommunity groups in east palo alto which rely onf2f meetings
