    Madison’s first consensus conference [26] aimed to allow area citizens to consider the promises and perils of the many possible future nanotechnologies before they reach the market.

    Citizen panelists received a packet of background reading and then met to discuss the readings and develop a list of questions about the technology.
    At their second meeting, participants gathered with a group of seven specialists from a range of fields, including engineering, toxicology, policy analysis, communications, and bioethics.
    These specialists addressed the citizens’questions in a public forum.
    On the basis of their reading and two discussion sessions, citizen panelists drafted recommendations [26].
