Rule2Gether Overview

Rule2Gether enables democratic decision-making processes to be easily introduced within any organization by enabling agenda items to be controlled through an ad-hoc group of people similarly to what happens in a City Council. The councilors' actions can be completely controlled by the majority of its voters. Members can do so through proposals, comments and votes expressed through the web, telephone and/or regular in-person assembly.

Registered members can participate in the current Council Agenda by voting, amending, commenting in favor or against each agenda item, and also by rating and replying to other users' comments. Proposals can be created and supported to be discussed in the next council meeting, and the most popular will be sent to each councilor a few days before the Council Meeting date via snail mail.

Many features are still in the pipeline, such as email and RSS updates on topics of user interest, quick search for proposals, agenda items and people, sorting and filtering options, blogs, comments and amends for each paragraph on a proposal or agenda item text to focus discussion, phone and snail mail participation for users who don't have access to the world wide web... and much more.

This software is in use today by the Roman chapter of Association of Direct Democrats, in Italy.
