    The Obama Administration would do well to combine a number of civic participation networks. E.g. use the ObamaCTO.org search, and look for "socialchord". In this model, there is not only access to public information, but citizens and experts can partciipate in generating open-source style legislation, there is professionally edited citizen journalism, organic individual/group discovery, and more.

    Rush Holt says it all in his proposed legislation. Whatever electronic technology you put in place, you need an independently auditable record of votes. A voter-verified paper record, along with common industrial quality control methods, provides the assurance the public deserves, and is simpler & cheaper than the complex, elaborate electronic audit mechanisms used in retail banking and gaming.

    I've gotten to know Michael and the socialchord team. Their network includes the Obama priority of public record availability (at local levels as well), and more. It includes open-source style public legislative collaboration, professionally edited public journalism, and an interest-based social/organizational networking component that offers generous privacy and control. Very well thought-out!
