Earlier in February, Pete Clifton blogged here about the Â鶹Éç's Digital Democracy project and mentioned the pioneering work of web services like 's .


John O'Donovan (Principal Technical Architect, FM&T Journalism); Tom Steinberg (Director, mySociety); Jem Stone (Â鶹Éç Social Media Group)

Today's Pic Of The Day is of yesterday's afternoon-long brainstorm with Tom Steinberg and Francis Irving of mySociety, asking what the Â鶹Éç could learn from their various and and what unique ingredients the Beeb can bring to complement the work done by charities and volunteers.

If you have any thoughts about how the Â鶹Éç can fulfill its democratic public purposes as defined by the Royal Charter [pdf], please do leave a comment at Pete's post.

The Public Purposes of the Â鶹Éç are as follows-- (a) sustaining citizenship and civil society; (b) promoting education and learning; (c) stimulating creativity and cultural excellence; (d) representing the UK, its nations, regions and communities; (e) bringing the UK to the world and the world to the UK; (f) in promoting its other purposes, helping to deliver to the public the benefit of emerging communications technologies and services and, in addition, taking a leading role in the switchover to digital television.

    What are the rights restrictions for Â鶹Éç Parliament? Does the Â鶹Éç only have 7 day rights? For Lords debates? Commons? Committees?

    If we have permanent rights for any of these programmes why do they disappear from iplayer (and hence /programmes) after 7 days?

    If we added the ability to link from /programmes episode pages to theyworkforyou debate pages would anyone in Â鶹Éç Parliament populate these links? Would we be breaking any rules?

    Just wondering and wondering here cos i don't know who these questions should go to...
