| | Verweij: Should Multilateral Organizations Become More Deliberative? |
 | | Various authors have therefore argued in favour of institutions that invite the participation of groups and citizens representing a wide variety of perspectives and interests.This research project considers whether an argument can be built for making the decision-making procedures of multilateral organizations more deliberative. | | | One reason for why deliberative decision-making has enjoyed increasing attention consists of the idea that deliberation might be a partial cure for the much-lamented 'democratic deficit' in international relations. | | | It entails decision-making through consensus seeking and arguing between those who hold alternative views of the problems at hand and their solutions. |

| | Public Participation in ICANN: A Preliminary Study |
| | Participation in a Supporting Organization is likely the most effective means of becoming involved in the ICANN decision-making process. | | | At these small gatherings, public participation is minimal in real-time, but ICANN has nonetheless expended substantial effort to ensure that the decisions are made in a relatively transparent environment. | | | In addition to these structural reforms, Lynn also proposed introducing an ombudsman and a manager of public participation to increase the transparency and accountability of ICANN. |

| | In particular, it is unacceptable for citizens or organisations who have exercised their rights to participate in environmental decision-making to be denied access to administrative or judicial appeal mechanisms. | | | A clear budget for a participation process should be identified and published. | | | There should be adequate financial support for the process of citizen participation with a published budget. |

| | adult female work force participation was positively associated with school attendance, suggesting a direct link between adult female work and school attendance for both male and female children, perhaps because women who work have more say in the household decision making process | | | Variables considered included parental education, adult female work participation rate, poverty, the wage rate in the agricultural sector, caste status, household size, urbanisation, the proportion of villages with primary schools, and teacher-pupil ratios. | | | school attendance rates are no lower in districts with higher proportions of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes than in other districts; this could be due to legislative and other interventions aiming to provide equal educational opportunities to children in these communities |

| | Faculty Participation in Decision Making. ERIC Digest. |
| | Participation in institutional decision making is associated with increased employee satisfaction and performance in a wide variety of organizations. | | | The rationale for extensive faculty participation in institutional decision making rests on reasons for employees' participation in any orgnization and on reasons specific to the faculty role in higher education, the former contained in the sizeable literature on generic organzation theory and the latter in the more sparse higher education literature. | | | Faculty participation in institutional decision making is accepted as intrinsically good and as having positive effects on institutional functioning, but it is reflected in varying degrees in actual practice. |

| | Increasing public participation in governmental decision-making is also becoming a large part of democratization processes and the strengthening of civil society in regions trying to recover from violent conflict and/or to make a transition to a more democratic form of government. | | | Pressures for increasing the level of public participation in government decision making at the local, state, and federal levels have led to a wide variety of processes that enable the public to learn about and have input into governmental decisions. | | | Even though public participation can slow the decision making process down, it is often legally required, and can avoid costly lawsuits at the other end if unpopular decisions are made without adequate public input. |

| | Radical transparency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It requires decision making to be transparent right from the beginning of the decision making process, while accountability is a process of verifying the quality of decisions or actions after they have been taken. | | | The potential of radical transparency to allow corrections and improvements to decision making is likely to be higher when the decision making method is either a consensus decision making method or a democratic decision making method. | | | All draft documents, all arguments for and against a proposal, the decisions about the decision making process itself, and all final decisions, are made publicly and remain publicly archived. |

| | The participation of the public in strategic decision-making builds on the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (the Espoo Convention) and the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (the Aarhus Convention). | | | SEA allows the identification and prevention of possible environmental impact right from the start in decision-making—developing a more sustainable transport policy rather than just minimizing the environmental impact of building a road, for example—and it enables environmental objectives to be considered on a par with socio-economic ones, bringing sustainable development closer. | | | SEA is undertaken much earlier in the decision-making process than EIA, and it is therefore seen as a key tool for sustainable development. |
