What would the network look like initially and how would it begin?

The end result…that will get results.
The interactions that are possible, the look/feel, process and flow are demonstrated on these screens and deeper explanations are offered with a click on the overlay displays.
The powerful forms of genuine new media and commanding interactions the Citizens Access Network enables amongst all the stakeholders can be well understood by taking that tour.
However, the full capabilities of such a network can only be built and evolve over some time and that can happen only if the concerned/capable public demands it. Therefore, it is imperative that the simple, but for some, elusive connections of this proposal be made; first and foremost connecting this proposed network to the civic architecture of the United States.
With that understood, it becomes easy to see how those pillars of foundation meet the strategy by which the network can begin; with major impact from the start.
By pursuing those strategies and tactics - immediately available and succinctly detailed in the “Strategy and Tactics” section - we can infuse that demand with the considered action that has been so lacking; and without which there will be nothing.
What sort of data will you collect? How will it be used? What privacy policies are envisioned?
Personal verification would be completely private and done only for the purposes of establishing a true identity and physical presence with the name and address provided. This is foundational as that will map voting districts and hence prove a reliable visible constituency.
People operating in this public environment cannot be anonymous as that obviously couldn't work. Profile names and handles however could be customized to offer an appropriate layer of privacy.
The data that will be collected based on the site's activities will never be sold and surveillance or other methods of pursuit for commercial purposes will be forbidden! WeLeadUSA would operate a public resource and be solely funded -and run by - user-members.
However, if you show up, they show up and so there would likely be great importance associated with the activities of this network that might be of interest to political scientists, sociologists; various scholars, the media etc. As can be seen from the site metrics page proposed in the network display, this may be something useful, but would only be constructed under the supervision of all stakeholders and executed with total transparency.
