Liquefying the Demos (by proxy)
“Citizen deliberative councils, participatory budgeting, the Occupy movement’s consensus decision making: These are all experiments in more participatory forms of democracy […] With the rise of the German Pirate Party (see NYT and NPR reports), so-called liquid democracy platforms for proxy voting (or delegated voting) are finally getting some real-world testing and development.” http://www.solvingforpattern.org/2012/10/02/proxy-voting-liquid-democracy/
“Adhocracy is a policy drafting and decision making software for distributed groups and open institutions.” https://github.com/liqd/adhocracy/
“Adhocracy is a structureless organization used to solve various problems. It is a type of organization that operates in opposite fashion to a bureaucracy. The term was first popularized in 1970 by Alvin Toffler,[1] and has since become often used in the theory of management of organizations (particularly online organizations), further developed by academics such as Henry Mintzberg.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhocracy
