.. and after listening to the interview:
he says that people will prepare their proposals and then by some vote (60%) they'll decide which proposal to accept.
my bigger question is, and is a question "against" the old tau as well, and "against" nomic:
how do you expect people to form well-formed proposals, that actually express what they meant and so on?
do you expect this to be an individual process for experts?
on the new tau we consider this a collaborative process for non-experts, the process of forming a proposal, aside the process of accepting it.

a smaller point would be regarding votes. once you take a close look, you don't need them anymore
