RegulationRoom is purposefully designed to include elements that could make rulemaking more transparent, participatory, and collaborative. After a rule closes, the research team works to design a new version of the site for the next proposed rule. These revisions are an important element of the research, as iterations are driven by experiences, user feedback, and features specific to the current rule. We make previous versions both separate and accessible to preserve the history of the site's evolution for research purposes... RegulationRoom is an experimental platform for public participation in government rulemaking processes created by a cross-disciplinary group of Cornell researchers, the Cornell eRulemaking Initiative (CeRI). CeRI uses selected live rulemakings to experiment with human and computer support for public engagement and discussion. The ultimate goal of RegulationRoom is to provide guidance on design, technological, and human intervention strategies-grounded in theory..
