Need a decision-making protocol #2

Open GratefulTony opened 11 years ago

GratefulTony commented 11 years ago

Being able to make decisions is an important mixin for an organization. I propose that people research various decision-making protocols and post candidates in the comments for consideration... this first decision, "which decision-making framework?" will have to be done outside of any existing framework... but I propose a simple vote after some amount of time allocated to rounding up candidates.

It would be nice if we had some sort of segmentation of possible vote categories. I could give my policy edit vote to Bob-- and my finance-related vote to Sue.

liquidfeedback supports segmentation. A small problem with this is, what happens if somebody creates an issue in the wrong category? if it passes it still needs to be accepted as legislation. Luckily lqfb allows you to take away the legislation for specific votings etc. I am still thinking about something that is less centralized and crypto based, lqfb is completely the opposite of this, it strives to be transparent (everyone sees everything).

I would recommend this as a starting point- The Machinery of Freedom: http://daviddfriedman.com/The_Machinery_of_Freedom_.pdf

It also looks like liquidfeedback is open-source... so we could hypothetically change it to fit our needs if we determine them to be different from what is currently available. I think a crypto-backend would be a good idea to provide citizen authentication... I also like the notion that any citizen can propose legislation and campaign for it until it reaches critical mass... If we use an automated system to manage open tickets or "proposed decision-making" the bureaucratic load could be quite low... think or /r/new.

Mindlance, I read a bit of the Machinery of Freedom and see some real merit in those sorts of radical-capitalist theories... but doesn't capitalism require accurate valuation of objects under exchange to maintain Pareto efficiency? I find the chapter on pollution quite telling-- It assumes that no one would pollute his/her own yard... but we can see that this is not actually a realistic expectation in many cases unfortunately...
