So what do members of the Madison governing community have to say?
From Chicago…
- “Madison is a technology platform that lets residents dive into a proposed policy’s language and make specific suggestions… It also compliments other important modes of civic engagement and feedback collection like public meetings and traditional comment processes. Using Madison to collect public input on the Array of Things governance and private policy aligns with Smart Chicago’s dedication to civic engagement with and through technology.” -Kyla Williams, Interim Director of the Smart Chicago Collaborative, June 13th, 2016
…To The Obama Administration…
- “One of the most unique aspects of the engagement is that the playbook was built using the same inclusive principles that it champions. In developing this new resource, the team opened three comment periods for anyone to participate. Using the Madison platform, hosted by the OpenGov Foundation, more than 100 contributions were reviewed in the first week alone…stakeholders from inside our government are encouraged to continually offer new insights–including new plays, the latest case studies, or the most current performance metrics–to the playbook.” – The White House Blog, February 3rd, 2015
…To Wichita, KS…
- “The process of creating an Open Data Policy within Madison has gone very well. [It captured] many comments, edits, and annotations about what people wanted to see in the policy and what areas they felt were important.” -Michael Mayta, Chief Information Officer for the City of Wichita, April 13th, 2016
…to the Netherlands…
- “Finally, we’re going Digital!” – The Dutch Labour Party, December 18th, 2015
… to Montgomery County, MD…
- “Madison is another step forward in the County’s pursuit of greater transparency, accountability, and effectiveness. Madison makes it easier for residents to interact directly with policymakers and other stakeholders on issues they care about. I am excited to be working closing with The OpenGov Foundation to bring the legislative process even closer to the public…Madison has the potential to increase public engagement in the Council’s work and importantly, bring new people into the process.” – Hans Rimer, Montgomery County Councilmember, June 17th, 2015
… To Washington, DC.
- “As we encourage more public engagement in the legislative process, I hope D.C. residents will take a moment to log onto the Madison project… I look forward to seeing the public input on my proposed bills.” -David Grosso, DC Councilmember At-Large, May 16th, 2014
