This discussion is pure gold even for pirates still willing to use
delegation as a tool.

As you all pointed, delegation is not the main problem. Information
exchange is the main one. This also happens in non-delegation systems.

I identified this issue in my "liquid organizations" [0][1] proposal
as the usual mismatch between mailing lists and forums. It is only one
facet of the problem.

Obviously, your mileage may vary but in PP-CAT it is the main reason
for lower than expected internal participation.

Information exchange must take place in one tool which allows
different ways of interaction. Something like "google groups" would
fit better the bill (but we need one free as in freedom).

Also you need a way to summarize the text feeds and attach the summary
to the voting. Of course, it must happen after an only deliberation
time. The tool must enforce different "policymaking" phases
(proposing, proposal approval, deliberation, voting, implementation,
implementation feedback).

Finally, purpoted experts must close the gap between them and
non-experts. They should offer themselves per question, explaining why
they are worthy to delegate.

If you get rid of delegation, well, you can use abstention as an
implicit delegation but you need to make it active. There is no way to
know who abstained because they don't have idea about the topic or
just people who didn't read the notifications.

Trust me, the second type of abstention is the most common one in big
groups (>500 members).

Let's keep up this constructive debate :) BTW, in the PP-EU foundation
was founded a workgroup around this topic too. If you are not there,
ask Anders Kleppe.

Regards,
Dario
