<div dir="ltr"><div>hi, thanks for the note. <br></div><div>I'm glad to see this list momentum effort! We need it! <br></div><div>I lead the modernizing Congress portfolio at Georgetown and I'm still working adjacent to the US Congress with the members and committees who are behind this effort-- The House has passed 202 reform and modernization recommendations. It is truly an unprecedented and historic push forward. I'm now helping implement the more difficult ones that include a social cohesion aspect. (i.e. how to we integrate new forms of deliberative technology into the workflow of members so there is a flow of authentic, productive, constituent driven feedback) Also we have gotten ahead of the curve on AI and LLMs in the House at least. I'm proud of this old institution, even though its looking like a three ring circus in the news. I think the Mike Johnson success on Ukraine funding is a very interesting turning point for looking at democracy as transcendent critical infrastructure (backed up by pandemic measures to go remote and then J6 reactions to look at the information systems on Capitol Hill as national security priorities) We have begun to marginalize deviant behavior through the process and this is a good, emergent, systems way to make sense of it. <br></div><div>Very interesting time for all of this. <br></div><div>LK<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 22, 2024 at 12:19 PM Kate Krauss <<a href="mailto:katiephr@gmail.com">katiephr@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hi!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>We didn't move the list, or change its name (Liberation Tech) but we did supply a link which works (after fixing a technical glitch) that you can share with new people who might want to join. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Cheers,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>Kate</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 22, 2024 at 12:12 PM Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many <<a href="mailto:gmkarl@gmail.com" target="_blank">gmkarl@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">> > Hi, I’m confused, what about the list this email was sent to (<a href="mailto:lt@lists.liberationtech.org" target="_blank">lt@lists.liberationtech.org</a>) ?<br>

Apologies, I did not realize it was the _same_ list the subscribe link<br>
was sent to.<br>
<br>
I had assumed by context that this was a new list.<br>
