    fMaybe I’ll show up. But, what a God awful name you have chosen. “Sortition” and “Advocas” are not conversational words and will NEVER sell to general population. The one we came up with in Prague in 2001 was far superior: “World Direct Democracy Movement.” Sortion was a major core element of direct democracy, but we didn’t use it, nor did we use “random selection” which also leaves ordinary citizens without a clue.

    I actually like “International Network of Sortition Advocates”. I think that “direct democracy” would be a misleading name to use. This usually implies heavy reliance on mass participation and in particular on referenda.
