This document discusses strategies for local governments to engage the public through online and web-based technologies. It explores how cities are using tools like websites, social media, online surveys and forums to strengthen democracy and promote more effective governance. The document advocates for moving beyond just informing the public to truly engaging citizens in decision-making processes through collaboration and empowerment. It provides examples of how one city leveraged a project blog and online engagement to build consensus on a planning initiative.

How to Increase Member Value with Social CommunitiesWebjamMark2
Social business is defined as the ability of an organisation to use its online communities to improve its performance.
Most organisations are looking for cost effective and productive ways to interact with their supporters, prospects and staff:
Increase donations by engaging donors.
Engage with members to improve membership retention and increase membership value.
Create valuable new opportunities for membership benefits with the scope for previously untapped monetisation.
Connect members where you to stay at the centre of your valuable community.
Allow your members and donors to create their own communities.
Extend your reach on a secure platform to leverage social media and drive members to your community.
Create communities where members are more involved, with the scope for mentoring and accelerated interaction and feedback.
Streamline internal and external communications across communities and groups with customisable privacy settings.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Welcome to the new Mizzima Weekly !
Mizzima Media Group is pleased to announce the relaunch of Mizzima Weekly. Mizzima is dedicated to helping our readers and viewers keep up to date on the latest developments in Myanmar and related to Myanmar by offering analysis and insight into the subjects that matter. Our websites and our social media channels provide readers and viewers with up-to-the-minute and up-to-date news, which we don’t necessarily need to replicate in our Mizzima Weekly magazine. But where we see a gap is in providing more analysis, insight and in-depth coverage of Myanmar, that is of particular interest to a range of readers.

Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
Government 2.0 New strategies for engaging the public
1. Government 2.0: New Strategies for
Engaging the Public
How are cities leveraging the web to engage the
public in local government decisions? Explore how
cities are strengthening democracy and promoting
more effective local government by using 2.0
technologies.
LMC conference innovation Labs
During these facilitated small group discussions
you’ll identify key issues, consider challenges and
how to overcome them, and offer ideas for how the
approach could be replicated by all types of cities.
2. Hat #1:
Griff Wigley, the citizen
LocallyGrownNorthfield.org
5. Small group discussion
Tell your group a story about a recent
experience (good or bad) with online public
engagement
• Website
• Online survey
• Blog, web forum, webinar, live chat
• Twitter, Facebook
• Etc.
7. The Connected Community:
Local Governments as Partners in Citizen
Engagement & Community Building
Overview: Citizen
Engagement, Why & How?
James Svara and Janet
Denhardt, Arizona State
University, in cooperation
with the Alliance for
Innovation (Link)
8. Why citizen engagement?
Right thing to do
• “Citizens can be defined as people who have a concern
for the larger community in addition to their own
interests and are willing to assume personal
responsibility for what goes on in their neighborhoods
and communities. So, building citizenship is about
inculcating a way of thinking and acting that is
characterized by openness to opposing ideas,
collaboration, and sense of responsibility to others.
• It is hard to have citizen engagement without a sense
of community, and it is hard to fashion a sense of
community without citizen engagement.”
9. Why citizen engagement?
Smart thing to do
“We should work to increase citizen involvement
because local governments cannot solve
community problems alone.
The complexity of the problems facing local
government demands citizen involvement and
acceptance, if not cooperation. Citizens often have
information that officials need in order to design a
sound program.
Further, citizens expect the opportunity to
participate and may resist the implementation of
plans they have not helped design.”
10. Citizen engagement is not:
• Selling the public on…
• Getting votes for…
• Convincing the public to…
• A meeting to complain/find fault with
• A process where staff controls the outcome
• Something that happens at council meetings
• An alternative to representative gov’t
13. Public Involvement Spectrum in Local
Governance
• Policy making: annual budget, economic
development, environment, housing, long
range planning
• Service delivery: potholes, mowing, plowing,
licenses & permits, park maintenance
16. Public Involvement Spectrum:
Policy Making – Exchanges to Inform
• Meeting minutes
“Provide the public
• Reports, fact sheets
with balanced and
• Open houses objective information
• Web pages to assist them in
• Blog posts, tweets understanding the
• Media interviews problem, alternatives,
• Presentations, panels opportunities, and/or
solutions.”
• Videos
17. Public Involvement Spectrum:
Policy Making – Exchanges to Consult
• Public hearings
• Focus groups “Receive and respond
• Meeting Q&A to resident comments,
requests, and
• Open mic complaints. Obtain
• Email & phone public feedback on
• Surveys/polls analysis, alternatives,
and/or decisions.”
• Comment forms
19. Exchange of info vs Engagement
“These efforts require a great deal of creativity, energy
and commitment to succeed. But the effort appears to be
worth it: research has shown that effective citizen
engagement can foster a sense of community, engender
trust, enhance creative problem solving, and even
increase the likelihood that citizens will support financial
investments in community projects.
In any of their interactions with citizens, local
governments should look for the opportunity to
encourage engagement rather than simply seeking an
exchange of information.”
21. Public Involvement Spectrum:
Policy Making – Engagement to Include
• Workshops
“Work directly with
• Deliberative polling citizens throughout
• Blog comment threads the process to ensure
• Q&A - presentations that public concerns
and aspirations are
• Q&A – webinars
consistently
• Interaction captured understood and
• Interaction published considered by staff.”
22. Public Involvement Spectrum:
Policy Making – Engagement to Collaborate
• Citizen advisory group
“Partner with citizens
• Citizen task force in each aspect of the
• Consensus-building decision including the
• Participatory decisions identification of issues,
development of
• Interactive surveys
alternatives, choice of
• Interaction captured the preferred solution,
• Interaction published and implementation.”
23. Public Involvement Spectrum:
Policy Making – Engagement to Empower
• Citizen juries
• Ballots
“Place final decision-
• Delegated decisions making authority or
• Interaction captured problem-solving
responsibility in the
• Interaction published
hands of citizens.”
