1)Hold weekly online chats for any interested constituents. You canuse free chat software, and set a weekly time where you will be available for input and ideas. Much as the Washington Post now regularly holds chats with authors,
politicians should make a habit of being open with constituents. The habit of openness alone, knowing that you must regularly respond to unanticipated questions, will change how you govern.
每週固定舉辦線上聊天會，與那些對特定議題有興趣的選舉權擁有者交換意見。

2) Hold online consultations where your staff identifies 50-400 people (NOT the online opinion makers, but people who don't generally have a voice) to engage in consultations on particular topics, using existing list-serv technology (yahoo or google groups work fine). In England, the Hansard Society has enabled several of these 「online consultations」 and found them very productive.
舉辦線上審議會議。人數50-400人不等，特別是那些平常較少發聲的。可以利用google group之類的免費工具。

3) Wherever you post information online, provide an opportunity for people to connect laterally over these issues. If one of the issues on your website is 「Energy」 include a section that asks for solutions, and another that asks for help on legislative research. Again, even if you have a static html site, you can link to a forum that is already set up
to discuss these issues. Instead of having politicians' policies in one place, and discussions elsewhere, bridge the gap between lively sites like this
and static sites like this.
提供網友機會從側面參與討論你所發佈的資訊跟議題。

4) Put your daily schedule on the Internet, including all meetings.Just as you put your public campaigning schedule online, you should now allow people to know how you are spending the time they earned for you. (For the Sunlight Network's effort to spur this new political habit, see (PunchClockCampaign).
把每天的行程公佈在網路上，畢竟這些工作時間是選民給你的。

5) List your overall priorities and general schedule for the upcoming four-to-five months, to engage people in the prioritization process.
列出未來四到五個月的重要事項以及一般行程，讓民眾決定哪些重要。

6) Before you propose or sign any bill, put it online for at least three days for responses, and create 「chat times」 for discussions of the bills with staffers and constituents. There is a legislative proposal for this, but in the meantime members of Congress can act on their own.
提議或簽署議案之前，先放上網路起碼三天，與選舉人跟幕僚一同討論。

7) Follow the lead of Estonia, and create a forum where people can track, suggest and review legislation – and commit to having your staff review any that gets at least (x number) of people supporting it. American politicians should be chastened — Estonia started that website five years ago.
效法愛沙尼亞，成立論壇讓人們能夠追蹤、建議、以及檢驗法案。(因為愛沙尼亞五年前就這麼做了)
