Starting an Online Public Commons

On Sunday 11 July, Steven Clift addressed a small gathering of Christchurch citizens interested in starting an Online Public Commons initiative.

Steven is an inspiring advocate of online citizens forums. He is a founder and long time supporter of the world class examples of these in Minneapolis and St Paul, Minnesota.

We met at the inspiring Beckenham Service Centre where we were treated to a tour of the South Christchurch Library and Learning Centre.

A small group of people have agreed to further explore the possibilities for this kind of initiative in Christchurch.
