better-informed participation.
02 / Choose
Decide how to take part.
A useful contribution can be a respectful question or relevant context. Participation is voluntary.
03 / Carry forward
Keep the source and date.
Preserve what is known, what is uncertain and what has changed.
This describes the institutional approach. It does not promise an official response or resolution.
Independent.
Clear about the limits.
Our explanations should make evidence, uncertainty and corrections easy to find. Design must never stand in for proof.
