The Governance Commons supports efforts to improve governance by providing free services in three broad areas:
- The Knowledge Base of constructive governance-related information, capable of counterbalancing conventional information channels and their overload of destructive-governance-as-usual stories:

The Portals provide gateways to the system for people interested in:
