About me:

I am a co-founder—along with Peter Baldwin, the former Australian cabinet minister—of Debategraph.org, a creative commons, social venture that aims to make the best arguments on all sides of complex public debates freely available to all, and continuously open to challenge and improvement by all.

I have a doctorate (in organisational learning and environmental policy) from the University of Cambridge, I'm a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and live with my wife and three children in Somerset, UK.

Whether the individuals are active or not, the Global Sense Making website has collected quite a few distinguished individuals with a correlation to argument theory. After two years with my abstract I understand the rarity of obtaining dialog with individuals with a background or interest in the field.

Here goes the zing. It is such a shame to let this pool of expertise go untapped do to poor administration of the site.

I would suggest Benjamin Franklin's round table as a model for seeding on going intelligent discussion on this forum.

Thought I would send this link along in case you have missed it.
The Gigaton Throwdown is an initiative to encourage investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and policy makers to “think big” to massively scale clean energy during the next 10 years.
http://www.gigatonthrowdown.org/
It looked like and interesting and ambitious project and there might be a good fit with people here on this site.
Hope all is going well.
Regards,
Brenda

I want to make sure what you mean by "graph"? We wordsmiths so love to play with words. And I imagine dialogue and debate as quite different, actually, and discourse as sort of vague... hmmmm... I'll have to explore that and see what emerges over time and with discourse :)

Still Me

At 12:44am on June 12, 2009, Kamy Akhavan said…: Thanks David. I came across this website after a couple of email exchanges with Scott at the Do Good Gauge. Great to find you here. I'll spend some more time on the site and try to contribute where I can.

At 7:43pm on June 10, 2009, Lynne Johnson said…: Are you using debate as synonymous with dialogue and discourse? This is an old violin I pull out from time to time because I care if we are making beautiful music or more global cacophony. It's one way to open up a dialogue :) Lynne
