Robert's Rules of Order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert's Rules of Order is the short title of a book containing rules of order intended to be adopted as a parliamentary authority for use by a deliberative assembly written by Brig. Gen. Henry Martyn Robert . Currently in its eleventh edition and published under the name Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (and often referred to using the initialism RONR ) it is the most widely used parliamentary authority in the United States , [ 1 ] according to the National Association of Parliamentarians , a professional association of approximately 4,000 members which provides education and accreditation certifications for parliamentarians. [ 2 ] Cover of the original 1876 Edition
According to Robert’s Rules of Order, parliamentary procedure is based on the consideration of the rights: of the majority, of the minority (especially a large minority greater than one-third), of individual members, of absentee members, of all of these groups taken together. "The application of parliamentary law is the best method yet devised to enable assemblies of any size, with due regard for every member’s opinion, to arrive at the general will on the maximum number of questions of varying complexity in a minimum amount of time and under all kinds of internal climate ranging from total harmony to hardened or impassioned division of opinion." Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised [RONR (11th ed.), Introduction, p. lii] Although the copyright on the original Fourth Edition of Robert's Rules of Order Revised has expired, it remains an important work.

Research into information overload has been extensive and cross–disciplinary, producing a multitude of suggested causes and posed solutions. I argue that many of the conclusions arrived at by existing research, while laudable in their inventiveness and/or practicality, miss the mark by viewing information overload as a problem that can be understood (or even solved) by purely rational means. Such a perspective lacks a critical understanding in human information usage: much in the same way that economic models dependent on rationality for their explanations or projections fail (often spectacularly, as recent history attests), models that rely too heavily upon the same rational behavior, and not heavily enough upon the interplay of actual social dynamics — power, reputation, norms, and others — in their attempts to explain, project, or address information overload prove bankrupt as well.

If you are a consultant, facilitator or problem solver in any capacity or aspire to be then you should read this book. The authors take you through problem definition, solutions, and tools using humorous examples. It's one of those "light bulb" books that I'm going to keep around to lend to clients that are facing ambiguous, complex problems and aren't sure how to begin to define, yet alone solve, these problems.

Online deliberation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Online deliberation is a term associated with an emerging body of practice, research, and software dedicated to fostering serious, purposive discussion over the Internet. It overlaps with, but is not identical to, e-democracy . Online deliberation is very interdisciplinary, and includes practices such as online consultation , e-participation , online deliberative polling , online facilitation , online research communities , interactive e-learning , civic dialogue in Internet forums and online chat , and group decision making that utilizes collaborative software and other forms of computer-mediated communication . Work in all these endeavors is tied together by the challenge of using electronic media in a way that deepens thinking and improves mutual understanding.
