Episode 696 How to Do a Citizens' Assembly
Notes
Marjan Ehsassi practiced law many years and then decided to focus on the relations between citizens and government, where she thinks the big problems lie. So she’s been studying citizens’ assemblies and whote a Ph.D. dissertation on it — which became a book. Since Project Save the World is planning an inquiry on zoom that will resemble a citizens assembly (though we won’t call it that because we can’t recruit by sortition), we consulted her for advice about the design.

The space for comments is in a pale font. It’s good to give your comment a title by selecting it and clicking the “B” (for “boldface”). And you can italicize passages with the “I”, indent, add hyperlinks (with the chain symbol) or even attach a photo or graphic from your hard drive by clicking the paperclip at the right side of the space. Have fun with it!
