2. history of 'closed'

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.
> the open policy process in a complex society with participating citizens requires open data, open agenda, open source, open participation and isopen ended.
