Thanks for the share Mercy . Ali you raise some important questions . In the science of citizen engagement , there needs to be a way to close the "*Feedback loop*" . I daresay that there needs to be a way of gathering feedback from stakeholders on the final document even after it has been launched . That way there is a continuous adjustment of the law *pari passu* with the environment in which t operates . A fixed deadline doesn't cut it On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 12:00 PM, <kictanet-request@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Welcome to the Brave New World of Artificial Intelligence in the Celeb World..
In January, Christina Ausset, a 24-year-old Maroon 5 <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/m/maroon_5/index.html?inline=nyt-org> fan in France, spotted an enticing Twitter post from another of the band’s followers: “I just had a conversation with Maroon 5! Awesome!”
The interaction, it turned out, had been conducted on Facebook <http://www.nytimes.com/topic/company/facebook-inc?inline=nyt-org>Messenger with Maroon 5’s chatbot <https://www.messenger.com/t/maroon5> — an automated program designed to respond to basic commands. Not exactly a conversation with Adam Levine, Ms. Ausset noted, but it didn’t matter. She now happily talks to the bot, too.

Thanks for sharing. The issue of public participation continues to dog us. What is construed as Public Participation?
1. An Ad in the papers announcing a deadline for participation? 2. What period is ideally right for public participation? 3. What is the feedback mechanism to the public to ensure that there is communication on the effects of the participation into the final document?
Until we resolve these fundamental issues government agencies will be making a mockery of this issue.
