The first attempt made by Future Worlds Center pionners to organize a fully virtual [Structured Democratic Dialogue Process]] has taken place in 2008. An international panel of 15 experts in e-democracy supported by a team of 5 structured dialogue experts were engaged for 3 weeks in asynchronous and synchronous virtual interactions. The Both the Participants and the Facilitators were spread across continents. The subject of inquiry was to identify key obstacles that could potentially prevent an ambitious vision for the newly elected Obama Administration from being implemented. The SDDP Obamavision co-laboratory used as Triggering Question:

In the context of Obama's vision for engaging stakeholders from all walks of life in a bottom-up democracy employing Internet technology, what factors do we anticipate, on the basis of our experiences with SDDP, will emerge as inhibitors to the actualization of his vision?

The picture below immortalized a moment during which the 3 Facilitators based in Cuprus were captured at a moment when the result of a vote was "No".
