Acknowledgments

We would like to thank the author of our Guide to Digital Participation Platforms and curator of the Civic Tech Field Guide, Matt Stempeck, for sharing an initial list of the top 50 digital participation platforms. The ratings have greatly benefited from his years of research into digital participation platforms. 

Further, we would like to thank the members of the Technology Review Committee (Katya Petrikevich, Stéphane Dubé, Tatiana de Feraudy, Caroline Khene, Bess Lee and Matias Bianchi) for their time, input and feedback.

Finally, we would like to thank the digital participation platform users who responded to our user survey, as well as the platform developers and administrators who shared the survey, responded to our developer survey and engaged with us during the process.
