Gastil and Black 2008 suggested five bulding blocks for deliberation[1]:
- Creating an information base (SON).
- Prioritizing key values at stake (pre-Evaluation)
- Identifing wide range of possible solutions (Options)
- Weighing the solutions (Evaluation)
- Making the best decision possible (selecting)
They base their model of group decision making resesrch[2][3].
Gastil and Black framework gives four aspects of socilogy of deliberation:
- All participants should have equal and adequate speaking opportunities.
- All participants should attempt to comprehend one another’s views.
- All participants should make efforts to fully consider each other’s input.
- All participants should demonstrate respect for each other.
