Traditional News Media's Contribution to Participatory Democracy - Held in The Stata Center (Bldg. 32), Room 123
Decided on some assumptions: Participatory media and participatory democracy are different. Traditional media does have value and is not to be thrown out. New media and traditional media both have a primary role to inform. People who conduct media of all sides have to listen to the people they are serving. Poked at what is going on in traditional media. Want vs. need media. For traditional media: "we think a crucial role is for them to help people become particpatory ... encourage, tell them how, guide them and push them in that direction."
Talked about the BBC as a gold standard of how a traditional media source does a huge amount to encourage participatory media.
Participatory Policy - Held in The Whitaker Building (Bldg. 56), Room 191 Facilitators:
Tim Karr, Campaign Director for SaveTheInternet.com and Free Press
"We have lost almost every major battle in Washington." Starting in 1996 with the "Clear Channel act" the Digital Millenium Act (the "Walt Disney Act"). 2006, Telcom Act 2.0 -- "which we stopped" I think at least partially because of the Save th eInternet.com , coalition of 850 groups. Ask a Ninja. "We didn't ask him to do that. He did it."
They are trying to figure out how to foster participatory policy making. What is it? They talked about wiki policy. There is the black-box mode You have to create rules that are fair in order to crdeate better participatory policy. "That's the challenge we're putting before this group -- how do you create new tools?"
Interested in exploring the idea of wiki policy further. They will have demos of CongressPedia and OpenCongress.org.

Video on the Net: Beyond YouTube? - Held in The Landau Building (Bldg. 66), Room 168 Facilitators:

Concluded:
Media creation is going to be a core competency of every single organization. So it may not be an industry in its own right, it will just be embedded in all organizations.
David Weinberger close:
Culture matters to us.
"There is some difference to living in a participatory culture. The difference is we can make things. We can hold it up to ourselves."
It is a real difference that we can build things with other people that we don't even know.
It has a different sociology, a different anthropolicy.
"How do we make this diffent ours into a a different us. How does it transform the political us. And it is probably going to transform democracy before it transforms politics. What type of together are we building? Tis is the question i'm going to leave with -- is what kind of us arises from this ours."
