Creating the World Parliament: Seven Challenges for Interactions Designers

I’m sending this note to several mailing lists so please excuse me if you 
receive more than one. 

My article, Creating the World Parliament: Seven Challenges for Interactions 
Designers, is in the latest ACM Interactions and is now online.

I’m frankly hoping that everybody who may be interested in this topic will at 
least learn that the paper exists. 

I’m trying to raise several important issues with the paper. The first is that 
what we’d like to see is unlikely to be developed by the government or 
corporations. The second is that the historical opportunity is right now. The 
third is that it will be require a conscious, civil-society-led, meta-effort. 
It won’t happen by itself. The fourth is that it must be a large collaborative 
effort that is not primarily technological. 

And while I consider the paper a provocation to some degree, I’m extremely 
serious about the need to work together more effectively at this historical 
juncture. I hope to see it!

Thanks in advance for your comments or suggestions!  I’m also interested in any 
and all pointers to relevant information.
