EOS legislative Elephant in the room

in #eos7 years ago (edited)

I would like to take one minute to maybe address the elephant in the room. EOS currently has no legislative body. Are we to make EVERY decision via "community referendum"? Decentralized? sure. Efficient and long-term sustainable? Not by a long shot in my opinion. If we start with the natural premise that decisions for the blockchain must be made (governance details, worker proposal acceptance and allocation, etc.), our next logical questions should be how and by whom? Building off of infrastructure we already have in place (voting portal) I propose a committee of 21 duly elected representatives a cabal of 21 if you will. Using the exact same voting structure as electing BPs the EOS community will also have to power and voice to replace any or all of these 21 if and when they become arrogant, negligent, and/or corrupt. I for one would welcome a blockchain in which I have the power to vote for both the legislative and executive body. On complex issues where a clear and evident answer is not apparent the 21 BPs and 21 committee members could debate and arrive at a majority (2/3rds) consensus. This is intended to spark a discussion on the topic and hopefully, arrive at a reasonable consensus on the topic. I will also be making this post in Steemit and referencing this post. Thank you and go EOS! My Eosgoforum post is https://forums.eosgo.io/discussion/1237/governance-unit-tests#latest
