It means organising the choice around projects, criteria and responsibilities. People and teams remain identified. The proposal seeks to reduce dependence on charisma and personal loyalty, making it possible to compare commitments and monitor those accountable for implementation.
Understand the OpenGov3 modelThe proposal is to focus the choice on priorities and comparable public projects. The form of the ballot, the combination of choices, representation and the resolution of conflicts between projects still need to be defined and evaluated. The process presented explains the model's intent.
The choice within the proposed processIdentified teams, with explicit responsibilities, capabilities and conflicts of interest. Choosing a project, selecting its implementers and overseeing implementation require their own rules. The criteria for selection, replacement and accountability are part of the design under study.
Implementation and accountabilityThe design needs to address ongoing services, maintenance and existing obligations. Each new choice must consider its cost over time and the budget already committed. The relationship between new projects, continuing services and competing priorities is a central development question.
Open institutional questionsThe criteria must make explicit the values being protected, the people affected, the costs and the conflicts between priorities. Technical analysis helps examine alternatives and evidence; decisions about priorities require democratic legitimacy. The model still needs to define how these criteria will be approved, who will verify the data and how conflicts of interest and challenges will be handled.
Criteria, participation and oversightWe need to examine what failed, why it failed and who had the power and responsibility to act. Insufficient results, a change in context, implementation errors and false information require different analyses. Decisions to make corrections, discontinue a project or replace those responsible need public criteria, an opportunity to respond and protection for essential services. The procedures and competent authorities remain part of the design under study.
Follow an example of implementation and evaluationOpenGov3 is under development. Its direction is to organise elections and public management around projects, with identifiable responsibilities and public monitoring. The proposal, documents, studies, explanations and educational exercises are available today. The rules linking voting, representation, budgets, teams and the review of decisions still require their own research, debate and validation.
Read the current edition of the whitepaperIt has explicitly stated values. Its criticism of ideology is directed at dogmatism, submission to the group and refusal to examine consequences. It does not mean an absence of moral choices.
Explore the valuesThe model should be open to understanding, criticism and improvement. Visitors may disagree with the proposal and still find useful information and respectful treatment. The educational material aims to expand understanding and judgement without requiring allegiance to the project.
Examine the founding textsIndividual life depends on relationships and institutions. The test is whether these structures enhance dignity, security, responsibility and the ability to choose.
Understand autonomy and relationshipsIt can reduce risks that prevent someone from trying. The effect depends on the design and needs to be weighed against costs, alternatives and effects on other businesses.
Examine protection and workThis is an important design objective. The analysis needs to consider benefits, taxes, transport, care, time and risks. A promise of an advantage in every circumstance requires more than a single example.
Understand income, taxes and benefitsSome needs are permanent. Duration should match the risk and the person's circumstances, with respect for rights. Autonomy does not mean that all support must necessarily end.
Understand autonomy and supportAdministrative competence is necessary, but cannot by itself decide which values and interests should prevail. Management needs legitimacy, limits and oversight.
Examine efficiency and democracyResults depend on history, scale, population, institutions and external conditions. Learning from mechanisms is more rigorous than importing a package.
Explore countries and modelsIt can make oversight easier and increase the chance of detecting problems. Reliable data, investigation, accountability and institutions capable of acting are also needed.
Distinguish record integrity from truthful informationWe need to compare its cost with other ways of producing results and respect rights and constraints. Resources used on one project are no longer available to fund others.
Compare costs and alternativesIt is a possible future institutional path that would require a separate decision. The value of the educational content should exist independently of that. Any party activity would need to make clear its connections and conflicts with evaluation and information.
Explore the governance arrangements under studyThe model's development needs to demonstrate clarity of choices, institutional feasibility, responsibilities and arrangements for monitoring and correction. Any future application would also need to evaluate implementation, rights, costs and effects. In its educational work, it matters whether people understand problems better and can formulate criticism. Popularity and agreement do not replace these results.
