further, the "SObutton" type="void">new democracy foundation has pioneered truly effective methods for citizens to design laws and policies that benefit all rather than only the elites. several floors in the vccs provide guidelines and instruction in all of these approaches and tools for vccs to develop and maintain their governance system.

footnotes

1 "sociocracy is a theory of governance that seeks to create psychologically safe environments and productive organizations. it draws on the use of consent, rather than majority voting, in discussion and decision-making by people who have a shared goal or work process."

2: "holacracy is a method of decentralized management and organizational governance, which claims to distribute authority and decision-making through a holarchy of self-organizing teams rather than being vested in a management hierarchy."

3: polycentrism is a political or cultural system that contains many different centres, especially centres of authority or control.

4: the viable system model is a model of the organizational structure of any autonomous system capable of producing itself. a viable system is any adaptable system organised in such a way as to meet the demands of surviving in the changing environment.

5: syntegration is a form of non-hierarchical problem solving that can be used in a small team of 10 to 42 people. it was introduced by stafford beer in the 1990s.');
