-Social change groups have worked in this way to chllange/change power sturcters on the ground some examples of “modern tribalism” Squats, protest camps, climate camp to indymedia, RTS to XR and even the horror of occupy. Rainbow Gatherings are a working example of this culture, they have been going 50 years and the core is still based on the founding traditions. These came from the Vietnam war rather than the mystical hippy shit people talk about.

-The body is made up of stakeholder one for each instance – you wont a voice you run an instance and register it. This is clearly the voice of the #Fediverse as they are the people running it.
+The body is made up of three different balanced groups:
 
-This is then balanced dynamically by the same number of “users” who are interested in the process, they are chosen by [lottery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition) from the registered accounts. Your choice to register or not your account as a possable stakeholder.
+1. Stakeholders one for each instance – if you want a voice you can run an instance and register it. This is clearly the voice of the #fediverse as they are the people running it.
 
-On registration the is a box you can untick if you do NOT do this then you are in the lottery to get “governing positions” [Sortition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition)
+2. The Stakeholders are then balanced dynamically by the same number of Users who are interested in the process. They are chosen by [lottery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition) from the registered accounts. You have a choice to register or not your account as a possible Member of the Body. 
 
-Only people who want to be part of the governing body AND play an active role are enrolled in the lottery.
+3. The Affiliate Stakeholders that have to be ratified through the body to become members. A few examples below:
+
+    Fediverse Codebases (i.e pixelfeed, mastodon, peertube)
+    Fediverse Events (i.e group meet-ups, conferences)
+    Fedivers Support Organizations (i.e ActivityPub Rocks, Fediverse party)
+    ActivityPub Standards Crew (i.e wc3)
+
+
+We mediate the problem of sock-puppets and spammers by basic checks such:
+was the account acreated last year?
+is there active postings over this period?
+the normal ActivityPub moderation tools
+
+
+On registration you are in the lottery to get working roles in the governance [Sortition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition). There is a box you can untick if you do NOT want to take an active working role. 
+
+Only people who want to be part of the governing body AND play an active role are enrolled in the lottery. The code is the management, users are just user accounts, stakeholders are mods, voices are admins.
 
-“serving the humans trying to communicate.” we get out of the way and let the humans work it out – we provide structer for the groups, we don’t define the groups.
 
 **The power of the voice**
 
-    User proposals are excepted by anyone who has an activertypub account- just an idea – this can become a group.
+    User proposals are accepted from anyone who has an ActivityPub account. The body gets an activity stream of notifications and if they reach a core consensus they can create a group around the issue.  
-    **groups** – a part of the process, these come from ideas getting a level of support of the stakeholders.
+    **groups** – are a part of the process, these come from ideas getting a level of support from the members of the body.
-    **agreements** come out of groups these can then be enacted by the spokes people if they are interested.
+    **agreements** - come from groups, these can then be enacted by the voices if they are interested.
-    **Spokes people** can start groups to reach agreements and can enact agreements.
+    **Voices** - they have double power, they can start groups to reach agreements and can enact the agreements of groups.
-    Consensus of **spokes people** (-1) makes agreements body wide.
+    Consensus of **voices** (-1) makes agreements THE "voice of the Fediverse".
+
 
 **What are the risks:**
 
-The code is the management, users are just user accounts, stakeholders are mods, voices are admins.
+“serving the humans trying to communicate” by getting out of the way and let the humans work it out and simply providing structure for the groups, we don’t define the groups.
 
-* need basic security and checks – to see if an instance still exists and is real. If a member account is actively posting or a pulpit – all of this can be done with flagging some of them by code some by people – flags stuff goes to the “security group”

 * Groups can be captured by agenders – being open to all stakeholder members mediates this – we solve swamping by having a dynamic short non-voting time based on the number of new members in the group.
