The problem of imitating 'real life' in electronic life is that these models are forced and usually creates big issues. Remember BoB trying to imitate a human habitat? However the human habitat is a bit odd when it comes to structures of government, since governents are very anti-technology and very human prone to errors we fail imitating a similar structure to rule our community and that is our key issue. Things get delayed, miss explained or missunderstand from humanerror, I would think that these government models are not adecuated to our current systems. We could automate decision making or interaction if we have things that help us to achieve this leaving most things to software as opposed to human. regards > in the light of the new Foundation should be a review of the constitution > and due process in consultation with the community with a vote on a new > system of management with all members re-standing for election on that > manifesto.
