What is crowdsourcing?
Formal definition by Estells Arolas, E. and Gonzlez Ladrn-de-Guevara, F. (2012), Towards an integrated crowdsourcing definition,
Journal of Information Science:
In simple terms: crowdsourcing is the outsourcing of tasks to a
distributed group of committed and engaged people, typically through
the use of the Internet and ICT. 3
"Crowdsourcing is a type of participative online activity in which an individual, an institution, a non-profit organization, or company
proposes to a group of individuals of varying knowledge, heterogeneity, and number, via a flexible open call, the voluntary undertaking
of a task. The undertaking of the task, of variable complexity and modularity, and in which the crowd should participate bringing their
work, money, knowledge and/or experience, always entails mutual benefit. The user will receive the satisfaction of a given type of
need, be it economic, social recognition, self-esteem, or the development of individual skills, while the crowdsourcer will obtain and
utilize to their advantage that what the user has brought to the venture, whose form will depend on the type of activity undertaken.

Crowdsourcing Legislation:
The MCPIF Experience
Step 1: Objective setting.
Objective of the Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom (MCPIF)
crowdsourcing initiative:
To prepare a draft bill ready for the consideration of Congress, that promotes
rights, governance, development, and security in the use of ICT in thePhilippines, that may be used by Congress to repeal immediately RA 10175.
Step 2: Recruit crowdsourcers.
The crowdsourcers with appropriate knowledge, as well as sufficient
computer and internet skills are best recruited through social media.
Step 3: Give the crowdsourcers appropriate access to the tool used and
establish open and timely communications channels.

Crowdsourcing Legislation:
The MCPIF Experience
Step 4: Assign tasks to the crowdsourcers with appropriate skills.
Crowdsourcers worked on the individual parts and sections of the
Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom upholding the anchor
concepts ofrights, governance, development, and security of which
they had expert knowledge.
Parallel processing ensures the speed of the completion of a
crowdsourcing initiative.
Step 5: Enforce milestones and versioning.
The Democracy.Net.PH core team ensured that milestones were clearlystated, managed, and met, to prevent any incidence of crowdsourcing
fatigue.
Major danger from crowdsourcing fatigue: crowdsourcers lose interest, quit,
and can no longer be convinced to return and contribute.10

Crowdsourcing Legislation:
The MCPIF Experience
Parallel Step: Continual recruitment of crowdsourcers.
As progress ramped up on the Magna Carta for Philippine Internet
Freedom, more crowdsourcers and experts contributed to richer, more
valuable content.
Step 6: Ensure completion.
Completion of a crowdsourced project answers this key question:
Has the objective set in the beginning been met by the crowdsourcing initiative?
The Democracy.Net.PH core team ensured that the content oftheMagna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom was the results of the
best efforts to make it ready for the consideration of Congress.
As such, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago deemed the MCPIF as
worthy of filing in the Senate, and did so file without edits last year.
