My response
1-I think the problem is obvious and it's something called decentralization. Essentially all stakeholder are board members, but few view themselves in this way. It's easier at the Witness level, because there is a rational amount of users to conference together, but I've seen no evidence that this is happening.
On the whole of the userbase level, there's just too many differences, complacency and a lack of organization to come together in a way that will be productive. Maybe we need a structure built that serves as the Judicial level in western democracies.
Maybe this wasn't the best example. What I mean to say is that the American system has three levels of government that in theory creates a checks and balance to keep each in line. All have their specific function to make sure things get done. It's flawed of course, but the basic framework is usable.
