Hi All,
Fred Gohlke and I, have begun a project to write a constitution for a community with an electorate of 10,000. It stemmed from a discussion about direct democracy, where we envisaged an off ramp from a highway, being suggested for a community that had been by-passed when the highway was built and how our 'ideal' community would accomplish this real-world task, if it was governed as a direct democracy.

We came at this from opposite sides of the DD debate, our views originally seeming irreconcilable and found, during discussion that we were in fact, closer together in our stances than we had first thought.

The initial stage of this constitution is now posted at [www.myverdict.net]

We invite you all to criticise it and to put forward any ideas you might like to see incorporated.

The link for our constitution is -

My Best to all

Roy
