Wonderful article Freyja - thanks so much for digging it out

The whole area of regulations - when they have responsibility and economics impacts that are desirable for our whole world's system and when they unitentionally bureaucratise or legalise us to death is a big concern

One of the interesting dynamics about Million People Webs if they ever became a catalogue of reverese referendums is at least they would test the water as to where large numbers of people believed there was a better system design. This would not prevent dialogue in which it turned out that the original pledge was sub-optimal but it would put the onus on big powers to openly explain why they had not tried alternative experiments (as in our global responsibility promnotion case) or what more expert side-effects people should know about before hastily voting against something. I believe such dialogues would turn out to be extraordinary good use of www, and I am sure that the populace is intelligent enough to find such conversations compulsive viewing.

I suppose this train of thought leads two ways:
-Do we build the Nerve Centre of Million People Webs ourselves?

 OR
 do we ask someone like Yahoo (if we can find a Responsible someone) why on earth don't they start mobilising Million People Webs?
