What Now for Extreme Democracy?
The following is one way to break apart the rich material that has been provided on the Wiki over the last few weeks. It may seem inside-out to discuss it in the order presented on the following proposed agenda. Agenda item 0.0 then would seem to be to agree on or to re-order the agenda.

1.0 Renaming...
Name change: "I understand the reason for the name, but I don’t think it communicates well to the general public, and I think that it may frighten some."

Response: "It wasn't the NAME that frightened me off, but the discovery that Extreme Democracy wasn't real
Democracy (i.e. where the people play the legislative role themselves). Fix that, and I think you'd attract a lot
more attention."

Suggestion: Real Democracy (see also: Real Democracy by Frank Bryan; and, Suppose We Had a Real Democracy in the United States? A Time for Imagination speech at UCI by Gara LaMarche)
