Overview

This open governance initiative exists to explore how collective decision making can be strengthened through transparent processes and inclusive participation. By running targeted experiments, the project seeks practical, replicable patterns for collaborative leadership, shared accountability, and better outcomes for diverse communities.

Your support fuels iterative experimentation, tooling, and community learning. The work blends research with hands on practice, offering demonstrable models for how groups can govern themselves in more equitable and participatory ways. Together, we can turn ideas about openness into measurable, real world progress.

Why Your Support Matters

Progress in open participation requires steady, committed resources. Donations enable a sequence of small, disciplined experiments that accumulate into tangible improvements in governance practice. The project thrives when from diverse contributors, observers, and participants who want to see decision making become more transparent, auditable, and collaborative.

  • Prototype participatory governance models that center voice, inclusion, and accountability
  • Build transparent tooling for deliberation, voting, and outcome tracking
  • Engage a global community through accessible events and guides
  • Publish learnings and open data to support replication and further study
