No, No.
I’m sorry,
This is nothing to do with your post.
Best,

>> Dear Ezio,

>> Thanks for your reply. There’s not much for me to add, either to your note or to my previous thoughts. It’s a good initiative. I tend to agree with you, and I tend to agree with Luke’s argument for why democracy is important. Of course, I tend very much to agree with Elinor Ostrom — and for the enabling mechanisms that she suggests.
>>
>> The one thing I will add is to quote your open letter on the four aspects of how democracy and design converge:
>>
>> “(1) design of democracy, improving democratic processes and the institutions on which democracy is built;
>>
>> “(2) design for democracy, involving issues of access and transparency, allowing more people, especially using technology, to participate in the democratic process;
>>
>> “(3) design in democracy, including projects that help to bring about conditions of equality and justice;
>>
>> “(4) design as democracy, whereby the equitable and inclusive principles of participatory design set a stage on which diverse actors can come together to share constitutive power in shaping the present and future world we live in.”
>>
>> Each of these issues are rich. All are important. While it is possible to write a book about each of these themes, I don’t yet have my 500 words.
>>
>> Warm wishes,
