Answer
just to say I definitly didn’t find the top politics group through
google. Can’t remember how though.
My search terms when trying to get an idea for what efforts were under
way were:
e democracy, open democracy, direct democracy, participatory democracy.
Also I’ll agree with Gale that the interaction between Mark and
Emmanuel doesn’t seem productive at all right now, but I have to say
that what Mark advocates in terms of system can be quite an addition to
the debate, in the sense that his system retains a measure of
representative democracy and therefore could be seen as an intermediary
step towards (and as such, easier to build consensus for) more direct
forms of democracy.
Regards,
Serge

Isn’t DP also a mix of direct and representative democracy? But one which encourage participation and responsibility of everybody and not just a few directors?

Thank you very much Serge for your suggestions. I believe this aspect of group marketing is rather important if we want to rise significance of this place. If I remember properly, expertise site I am working on right not pharmacy gains over 70% of new visitors through google during some months.
Also I’ll agree with Gale that the interaction between Mark andEmmanuel doesn’t seem productive at all right now, but I have to saythat what Mark advocates in terms of system can be quite an addition tothe debate, in the sense that his system retains a measure ofrepresentative democracy and therefore could be seen as an intermediarystep towards (and as such, easier to build consensus for) more directforms of democracy.
I do believe for a while that step by step aproach is the best one as long as that is grounded, foolproof. This actually means that either of suggested mechanisms of network measuring need a place or group of people that can be counted in hunders or maybe even thousands to see how do they actually workand how usefull it is in RL. Before that moment, we are actually not talking about facts, but expectations which is much less solid and interesting for third party who is actually essential to make any of these systems strong enough to become part of real world politics.
ATB,
Gale

Answer
Hi Emmanuel, hi Gale,
Yep do agree on the need to implement and test, came out looking for what could be implemented and how, rather than just for the debate - even though it is interesting for me as I am new to the group to get a better prospective of what each envisions practically.
Emmanuel, what I meant was that in Mark’s system there is also
Delegable Proxy (and the other mechanisms everyone pretty much agrees
would be beneficial), but that it retains a part of what the old system
was made of (as in, purely representative,
one-ballot-every-5-years-style traditional RD), and therefore would
constitute a safety net of sorts for these doubting the efficiency of a
DP-only system.
Basically it would act as an argument allowing to overcome the age-old
“it’s never gonna work, too risky, why should we change a system that
works, etc”. Therefore, people unwilling to try the system would still
be represented the old way should they prefer to – and that would allow
to neither negate their voting rights nor prevent the implementation of
a progressive system for these willing to give it a go.
regards,
Serge

As far as I can tell, there is no “old system” retained anywhere.
Me I also propose permanent voting, until outside conditions render the vote meaningless. Not only that, but electoral lists freely maintained by anybody who feel like it. Institutions could use existing real life one, with public PGP keys for voter identification.

ec: As far as I can tell, there is no “old system” retained anywhere.-M: Its in the default hierarchy: delegate/specialist > trustee/generalist > algorithm-selectee
People would be encouraged to vote for specialists, but if they don’t, then their last generalist-trustees would be used. This is RD.
ec: Me I also propose permanent voting, until outside conditions render thevote meaningless.
-M: Yup.
ec: Not only that, but electoral lists freely maintained by anybody who feel like it.
-M: With SD2-S, voter list = electorial list. And if someone doesn’t want to serve, then a lower (politicly)ranked person is selected.
