Advocates of public forum believe that it is the best practice of deliberative democracy, acknowledged by domestic and international practitioners. Public forum allows a selection of participants and the provision of information for making sound decisions. The procedure seems to help make better public policies. However, some basic and profound problems that have been addressed by political theorists still lack attention of practitioners in Taiwan, which may have created an misunderstanding among the public sectors that public forum has become the best way of practicing deliberative democracy.

Most importantly, it introduces a possible solution by discussing how Swiss Center for Technology Assessment incorporates the mechanisms of deliberative democracy into the congressional law-making procedures.
