[p2p-research] policy sprints

[Michel Bauwens]

Matt and Mark,

this here, http://www.meetup.com/opengovnyc/calendar/10234024/, mentions
policy sprints, which I think is an innovative concept and practice which
deserves more coverage by itself,

would it possible to write up something about it, for publication in our p2p
blog?

many thanks for considering it,

Michel

On Tuesday, Dr. Elliott will give a brief presentation of his work, and then
will facilitate a workshop on collaborative policy building. Our group has
discussed hosting a "policy sprint" at previous meetings. In short, the goal
is to build a process for using citizen expertise to develop better policy.
A "policy sprint" is an attempt to complete a policy proposal in a short
period of time (more explanation
here<http://iyear.us/2009/04/08/open-government-nyc-meetup-gaining-steam/>).
The focus of Tuesday's meeting will be to develop a process and a toolset
for future policy sprints, such as the event that we are planning for late
Spring.
So wear your wonk hat, and come prepared with specific policy ideas that
you'd like to explore. We need to take this policy sprint concept for a test
drive.
