NOTE

Polis is Not Designed for Decision-Making, It's About Agenda Setting

The Polis platform aims to act as an agenda setter rather than a decision-making body. It focuses on brainstorming and incubating ideas at the problem definition stage without the need for statistical representation. The goal is to create a space where everyone's voice is heard without being drowned out, leading to the development of genuine innovations. Suggestions made in Polis are not binding for decision-making but serve as guidelines for stakeholder discussions. The platform incentivizes participants to find common ground and shared views, which are essential in shaping future policy decisions.
