DonateAssemblies are designed for exercising our collective intelligence, engaging with complexity, and finding common ground.

1. Sortition (selecting decision makers by lottery)
2. Deliberation (collectively weighing evidence for shared decisions), and
3. Rotation (taking turns representing, and being represented by others).
