This paper explores the key requirements for future civic meetings and approaches for successfully managing them.
Discussion Paper - Taking Electronic Voting to the Next Level with Meeting Management
Recognizing the evident inefficiency of manual voting, many organizations are opting to switch to electronic voting methods. However, when making such a switch, it is important to remember that not all electronic alternatives offer equal functionality, management options, and transparency.

Discussion Paper - Webcasting’s Crucial Role in Public Sector’s Meeting New Normal
Physical distancing requirements and the move to virtual and hybrid meetings have made the role of webcasting in public sector transparency more important than ever before. Citizens and stakeholders who previously could have attended meetings themselves now rely on webcasts as their window into the proceedings. Replicating the transparency of the in-person experience means showing more than just talking heads, while webcasts’ elevated importance requires the detailed contingency planning befitting a high-visibility live event. This paper explores these concepts in detail, including key technical elements that should be factored into public sector organizations’ contingency approaches.
