(See right sidebar.) Key initiatives of the Consortium are carried out through Task Groups. Existing task groups include:

Knowledge Building. Identifies critical questions and collaborators to advance knowledge and practice in the field of deliberative democracy.

FedNet. Convenes federal officials from different countries to discuss ways of connecting democratic deliberation with federal policy-making. This task group is currently building resources for elected officials.

Online Deliberation. Builds knowledge and tracks innovation within the field of online deliberation. First product is the development of a deliberative democracy 'blog'.

Democratic Governance. Develops tools for leaders who are using deliberative strategies in their work.
