Dear Joop,
I feel I am the old Caton :-)  This is true in democracy. This is not 
necesarily true in what we can call netocracy.

In democracy one have pepole a representation. Because with talk of the 
interest of each and every individuals.

In netocracy we want ideas and needs being represented because we think 
that every one  counts, including all those who are not here yet. Also 
because individual rigths are already represented by the democratic system 
(GAC, ISO, States). We do not want to conflict, we want to address 
additional needs in a different environement, at a different level, in a 
different way. We have no law, no Justice, no police to protect the 
representative. This is why we must be represented by ideas.

Look at ouy debate. No one is voting or lobbying for someone, it would be 
ridiculous. We inly hope that candidates stand for our vision, our culture, 
our ideas.

The erroneous ones are thos who believe they can use democratic thinking in 
creating netocratic representational structures. IMHO all our problem is 
here. Our own activists are more activists than e-networks men.
