This report presents an innovative vision for a governance structure that incorporates citizen input through deliberative democracy, utilizing randomly-selected citizen panels. Within this framework, diverse boards take on responsibilities including decision-making, research, oversight, and representation of historically underrepresented groups.
“Democratic Governance Frameworks” sheds light on the vital role of public participation in shaping the governance of a public financial institution.
