Subject: | Re: deliberation about the WDDM mission |
Hi all, The truth is that we are without approved mission, so maybe we should really start deliberation on the better wording of the mission (and not wait for the new board). So here is my suggestion how to change those contradictory sections identified by Dough below: 1.2 The power to formulate laws and policies must be vested directly in the People at all levels of societal life. 1.5 and 1.7 are actually very closely related - they refer to various tools/procedures of DD, so I propose to merge them into a new paragraph 1.5 that would read like this: 1.5 We advocate and will work toward the creation of a whole spectrum of tools that will facilitate the direct participation of every person in public affairs and governance, such as (but not limited to) peoples initiatives, referenda, recalls, planning cells, citizens juries, citizens forums, wisdom councils, electronic voting. The old 1.8 would become 1.7, etc. - see http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/mission.php (as the old mission that was there was outvoted anyway, I have just took the liberty to update it with the above tentative version; will of course update it further as need be).
