Please add materials, research, and articles that you feel will be useful to our work in asking the right questions and drafting the policies of the 7th pillar.

I am fairly confident of our core values and philosophy – my greatest concern is that we cover all aspects of the problem, not miss anything, and have the concerns of as diverse a gamut of voices reflected as possible.

@aral Would love to contribute, but the forum is not accessible via Tor. Could you please pass https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/doc/ListOfServicesBlockingTor#HowtounblockTorusers on to the forum admins, as you are probably in touch with them?

Knowing the requirements for participatory structures I am more in favour of a transnational party architecture than @Wessel_Dublin, but I pretty much agree on the conditions.

@lynX @JudithMeyer @aral Let me just say I'm not at all against a transnational party architecture. I only have my doubts regarding the way the discussion has been facilitated, the vote is orchestrated and - indeed - whether enough safeguards are in place to avoid the same old fallacies of political parties: to concentrate power in the hands of a few
