How could we build a discussion platform to solve complex and international problems? How could the structure of discussions on complex problems be translated to an online interface in order for a community to collaborate on solving those problems?

I think our world needs an online governance platform. A platform which allows people to facilitate, discuss, mediate, structure, build up and understand issues, solutions and knowledge. A collaborative platform where everyone could work on policy and debate and make things happen.

This could be all areas: personal, community, political, corporate and organisational, NGO and non-profit governance.

The idea is to weigh, discuss, structure and mediate projects/questions/problems that arrive from a community-based website comparable to, yet more complex than Quora. I'm developing a workflow which could serve as an example. Please let me know if you'd like to join the brainstorm.

Hi Erik,

Very interesting topic, I'm not sure if you are aware, but we recently created a census of tools for participatory budgeting https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvoV_cBqwo28dE9fZy02NEt2UGxPTnRQMTEzaUhTOGc#gid=0 in there, you will find numerous tools used particularly for the aspect of online deliberation.

If you haven't seen it already, I also suggest that you check out Adhocracy: https://adhocracy.de/

Totally agree - something like this would be very useful!
