Despite its immensity, the Pacific can feel like a tiny place, fraught
with small-town, identity-driven politics. Isolated and outnumbered by
consultants, advisors and family- or island-based alliances,
decision-makers often acquiesce to ideas they might not share.

Policy Circles aims to change that. We're building a distributable
social networking app that emphasises frank, confidential discussion
which in turn feeds public debate. Users can take on a single,
persistent online persona to present their honest views without
compromising their real life identity.

With curated information streams supplemented by user-submitted content,
we'll supply Pacific decision-makers with appropriate, useful research
and opinion, feeding open, honest discussion, free from undue pressure
from inside and out.

Policy Circles aims to fill that gap by offering a platform that is open to those dealing with policy development in the islands but also holds a public section that publishes profiles about the participating countries, the organizations and the various people involved in policy development.

Policy Circles is built on top of CouchDB and Mojolicious and was bootstrapped in Vanuatu in October 2011. It is driven by the Pacific Institute for Public Policy in Port Vila and we try to reach participation of all pacific islands by 2012. The project is unique in the way it tries to address both, the need for public discussion and the need to protect privacy in these discussions.
