The workshop, and the broad and diverse range of perspectives included, called for us to examine the stakes of political legitimacy, inclusion, representation, and trust in democratic processes, and the extent to which choices about selection processes affect these considerations.

While sortition (the practice of randomly selecting participants to form a representative sample using civic lottery) is hailed as a way to foster more direct and inclusive forms of democracy, a critical question arose in the context of our conversations: Is it "good enough"?

The central tension explored in this workshop revolved around the concept of “good enough” in the context of recruitment methodologies and sortition.

In line with Iswe Foundation ethos of “deliberating in the open”, the process included a call for submissions, and all 15 contributors were invited to present their thinking informed by their practice and research at a public event.
