Start a body
A charter, a decision rule and a founding event — signed in one sitting by a key that is then destroyed. After that, nobody holds a master key: people act under grants the body itself decides.
Members
The roll below is worked out from the record every time — there is no list anyone keeps.
Admit someone
Join with a slip you were handed
Leave
Once you leave, you’re out. You keep your record, and the votes you cast as a member still count.
Proposals
Four stages, always: an idea gathers co-sponsors, the body talks it through, a sealed ballot decides it, and the decision comes back for review. None can be skipped.
Mandates
One person votes for another on one named subject only.
Hand your vote to someone, on one subject
What this body’s record suggests
When the record shows a pattern — objections doing real work, rival proposals, the same few hands, groups within the group, turnout falling on one subject — the next mechanism is drafted here as a proposal. Nothing turns on by itself: adopting it is a decision this body votes on, through all four stages.
Drawn by lot
Roles nobody should be elected to are filled by lot, from a seed the record fixes and anyone can check.
Draw a role by lot
Take it with you
Your whole record — every event and your own names for people — as one file. Yours to keep, move, or walk away with.
Different apps. One ecosystem. Owned by none.
