We're a bit wary of proprietary solutions after getting burned a bit by one supplier but this is a pretty niche area. I'm sure there are open source options but if their tool works out of the box then there's something to be said for that too. Elena - Thanks, I had managed to forget about the policy wiki, believe it or not! And interested to see that Nanos played at least some part in the CRTC consult. Hadn't considered the survey/polling route but perhaps there's some merit in that approach too. Jill – Thanks, I’ll check it out.

It's called IdeaLink and is software built by a company called Brainbank. It allows people to fill out ideas, others to contribute, and then they get voted up or down. Apparently the IOC uses it for each Olympics. If you want more info, we can chat about it - I'll know a whole lot more after the congress (June 14-18) I have a great example of something for you that we’re going to be using at the upcoming environmental congress (ICLEI) that I’m working on.
