PROVISIONAL RECORD FORUM FOR THE CROSS-EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS FOR A RESPONSIBLE, UNITED AND PLURAL WORLD

BACK TO THE GENERAL INDEX

3. COSTS OF THE FORUM

The design and co-ordination of the Forum team during a year; the setting in motion of the methodology for the production of texts with articles based on not very homogenous “Proposal Papers” and “Breakthroughs”; the trans-lation and publication in 5 languages of 35 texts; the revision and creation of a mailing of the questionnaires in 5 languages with 158 participants and more than 14,000 contributions (evaluation of articles, comments, new pro-posals, etc.); plus the preparation of this record and the provisional synthe-ses has amounted to 57,230 €, a little less than the cost of two conventional electronic forums on an issue, with moderator and revised automatic trans-lation. The cost of the “Delibera” system (35 texts x 5 languages: 175 fo-rums) including the hosting has been, to date, a contribution of the company Serveis de Participació Interactiva SL, which has developed the system and has registered the trademark “Delibera”.
