Social change groups have worked in this way to challenge/change power structures on the ground. Some examples of Social change groups: squats, protest camps, climate camp to indymedia, Reclaim the Streets to XR and even Occupy. Rainbow Gatherings are a working example of this grassroots governance, they have been going on for 50 years and the core is still based on the founding traditions which came from the Vietnam War not the hippy dippy people talk about.

From the perspective of a radical grassroot social technologist this is distilled into a codebase, to “permissionless” roll-out frameworks for social groups to form and see/govern themselves.

The body is made up of three different balanced groups:

#### 1. Stakeholders

One for each instance – if you want a voice, you can run an instance and register it.<br/>

This is clearly the voice of the #fediverse, as they are the people running it.

|

#### 2. Users
|

The Stakeholders are then balanced dynamically by the same number of Users who are interested in the process.<br/>
|
||||
They are chosen by [lottery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition) from the registered accounts.<br/>
|

You have a choice to register or not your account as a possible Member of the Body.

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

- Was the account created within the last year?

Upon registration, you are automatically entered into the lottery to determine working roles within the governance via [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 (opt-out - important here).
|
||||
|
||||
Only people who want to be part of the governing body AND play an active role are enrolled in the lottery.<br/>
|
||||
Users are just user accounts, stakeholders are mods, voices are admins, the code is the management.
|
||||
|
||||
Every time a position opens the lottery picks a stakeholder to fill it, if it is you and you would like to do the job – get to it.<br/>
|
||||
If you do not want the job then resign and the lottery will pick a new person.

Basic security and checks – to see if an instance still exists and is real. If a member account is actively posting or a puppet – all of this can be done with member flagging, some automated others by people – flagged accounts and posts goes to the “security group”. It’s a lottery, it’s up to the groups to influence and as a last resort “recall” if one goes a new one is chosen by lottery.
