Other thought related to this post (thought it deserved it’s own space)— the lottery establishing a minipub cohort - is intended to be derived from the full body of citizens. Assume they have the right to decline, or no? And are their business/employment situations expected to be protected/covered in some matter? An operational detail to be sure, but it becomes important. It’s one thing to require re-employment of employers whose staff may be appointed (and I am sure some will argue against this as unfair to employer…) and it’s another question entirely whether one can shut down one’s personal enterprise and livelihood for the period in question. Maybe it’s not a heavy demand for local issues or specific policy questions - but are we considering states or the national gov might have a standing Minipub assembly for a specific length of time - perhaps I am confused as to durations here. We’re hoping for this in place of a legislature, or in support of it - a hybrid? If the latter- does this sufficiently tamp down the negatives of the electoral model? (I recognize you do mention hybrid or hybrid stage, but I wonder if the long term a hybrid remains necessary.)
All these are intended as from a stance of friendliness to the model, not nitpicking.
