The system has several fundamental structures, each with many subsystems. This is to manage many different Systems, Entities, Proposals, People, Processes, Organizations, Blogs, Sortitions, Votes, Meetings, Conferences, Initiatives, Information Sources, Administrators, Debates, Pages, Budgets, Accountability Frameworks.
It is basically designed to replicate, in a far more manageable, organised and tangible fashion, the Town Hall meetings of yesteryear where residents decided what to do with public funds… minus the shouting and loud voices and dominance of certain characters. That changed to become council managed where they decided everything. The next step in the evolution is this…. Now the people involved can make the decisions collectively in the privacy of their own homes, asking questions that are important, voting, debating etc.
The first key structure is the top level… in other words what is the largest group of people possible with this system. This is defined by the manager of the system. It could be anything up to Nationwide, Regional, Company Wide etc. Managers can use our software for private or public purposes. If they use if for public purposes it needs to be run for everyone in the community concerned.
From there as many sub groups of that as you like are possible, including subgroups of those subgroups and so on. So you could have a whole nation on this system, with many layers all the way down to street level management if you so desired.
At any one of these layers we have an item of substance that an administrator for your system has a number of optional components they can add to it… Debates, Proposals and Voting, Sortitions, Pages, Budgets, Accountability, Initiatives, Meetings, Conferences etc.
It may just be a piece of information, it could be an idea, there could be structured debate about it, there could be meetings… or it could be at the point where now people need to make a decision, or we could be reviewing everything that’s happened for results and accountability. Admins manage each of these things and can add in or remove each of the layers that are necessary.
Then of course the people themselves decide. They need to be authenticated as being them and where they live exactly might impact on what decisions they get involved in.
Exactly how this gets done is up to each hub manager and their admins.
