Expected Outcomes

What are the Expected Outcomes From This Conversation, and from Our Day Together?

Ideally our day will involve thinking ambitiously about digital technology as infrastructure for the public good. There are various potential outcomes of this, but here are a few that would be helpful:

  • Identification of some credible potential "Platforms for the People"
  • A map of how to build one or two possible platforms as a result of a deeper, focused discussion of the highest potential opportunities
  • Development of a framework for a new, more ambitious tool for the "tech for good" movement
  • An outline of the technological considerations in building a platform in this way
  • A framework of how to identify and analyze a potential platform: the types of things that should qualify, why, and how you'd organize around it.
  • Development of a small group of people interested in the concepts discussed, and willing to invest in a longer and broader discussion about how to make one of these real.

Open question for the table: Are any of these more or less interesting to you as participants? Are there other things you'd like to achieve?
