Wiki online voting - take two

presents the Arbitration Report. What it is, you ask? Well, it is basically a short review of the latest Wikicourt cases.

Suprised? You see, Wikipedia has its own juridical system. Disputes are common and definetly not avoided on Wiki. Remeber how some of the authors we have read recently raised the issue that people tend to avoid any discussions that may led to disagreements? Well, as true as it may be, there is still enough of those on Wiki that we needed to develop a policy for resolving disputes. Begining with a set of good avice about civil conduct, through unbinding mediation, to binding arbitration, we have evolved our own legal system. We even have advocates. And remember, this is all done by volunteers.

I wonder if this can be called eRulemaking? Or online civil society?

One of the things that really makes me wonder is that if it works on Wiki, can this be applied to the real government? In other words - can you imagine a real world government run by volunteers?

All things considered, I am pretty sure that we are much better on transparency then any real gov.
