1. the principle of 'open'

2. history of 'closed'

3. culture of 'open''open' should not be measured

the principle of 'open'

• eParticipation versus the traditional policy process; how to transform the latter?

• key elements of eParticipation: open data, open agenda, open to all, open ended

• ICT and open; requires a design to be coded, code should be... open

• participation is open ended

I.

history of 'closed'

• power centres with elites

• elite could 'know it all'

• uneducated, unconnected mass

• tolerance for risk

• less complex technology

• information is power

2.

culture of 'open'

• mutual accountability with open process

• civic duty to participate

• compare with the culture of scientists

• too much information, too complex? (e.g. financial crisis)

3.
