Here’s a link to the presentation I gave to this year’s Code for America Summit.
It explains why I believe a new institutional architecture is required to support a natively digital nation, and what form these new institutions might take.

The video of the talk will be more meaningful, but people afterwards were nagging me a url of the presentation, so this’ll do for now.
[update] Here’s the video of the talk and demo.
