Level 6 concept (High) - Important concept an Izara Community should implement and maintain
Overview
A community will require a large number of decisions to be made which can can make self governance overwhelming, this can be mitigated by delegation, localizing votes, and by assigning implementation decisions to people.
There are two basic types of decisions a community makes, moral decisions and implementation decisions.
Moral decisions
These decisions are not based on achieving a particular result, rather they depend on the beliefs or feelings of the community, such as deciding what is good and what is bad.
Moral decisions that affect the wider community should never be assigned to an individual, they should always be voted on by all people affected by the decision.
Moral decision examples
- How much wealth should an individual be allowed to obtain
- Euthanasia
- Up to what term should abortion be allowed
- How much resources should the community invest in researching a cure for blindness
Implementation decisions
Implementation decisions are choices that are made to achieve a set result. Who is assigned to achieve the result might be decided by the community, but the decisions to achieve that result decided by the assignee.
The Assignee could be an individual, a group of people, or an institution.
Which implementation decisions are voted on by the community and which are decided by an assignee can be controlled by Initializing a vote.
When implementation decisions are assigned the results should be analysed to gauge how effective the assignee was, the analysis could also be assigned by the community.
All decisions made by an assignee should be transparent, and any assignment of responsibility can be removed by the community at any time.
Implementation decision examples
Examples that might be decided on by all members:
- What system to implement to monitor individual wealth
- Which individual or groups should be given resources to cure blindness
Examples that might be assigned to an assignee:
- maintenance decisions for community data systems
- How to spend the assigned resources to cure blindness
Localizing votes
As a community grows in size many decisions that require a community vote can be separated into areas of influence, only people who are affected by the decision are involved in the vote.
For example if the community spans a large area of land and there is a decision to re-route a river, that decision could be localized to only members local to the river.
