Final rules for joining us

We've finally created the definitive rules for joining DirectDemocracyS.

Before briefly explaining these rules, we want to clarify something very important: all our official members can join an unlimited number of groups. All our decisions are shared with their respective quorums (fundamental: unanimous, very important: 90%, important: 75%, moderately important: 50% + 1 vote). The first three votes are based on the total number of eligible voters. Only after the fourth vote does a quorum based on the number of voters suffice, and the decisions are finalized with the vote of all our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identities. Less important decisions and the various implementing rules are proposed, selected, discussed, tested, finalized, and finally voted on and implemented in various interconnected groups, including our specialist groups. Subsequently, for each decision, authorization must be requested and obtained from the five special groups (which all our official members can join).

All new rules, regardless of their importance, cannot change or distort the meaning and effect of previous, more important rules, so as not to lose coherence, objectives, methodologies, and motivations.

The new rules can only complement and improve the previous, more important ones.

This methodology allows us to avoid voting on too many things all at once, while still allowing all our registered users with verified and guaranteed identities, through our truly and completely shared leadership, to be the true protagonists of our most important decisions. And while allowing our official members to collectively own our entire system (being able to participate in all their respective groups), it allows any official member (as our owner) to deem a given decision, rule, methodology, or instruction, considered unimportant, or even a simple implementing rule, to be of greater importance. They can then submit it, along with the relevant documentation and justifications, to a group created for this activity. Our group, which can include all our official members, can evaluate the rules, methodologies, and instructions. The group can decide to make a decision more important (and therefore have it voted on by our registered users with verified and guaranteed identities) or leave things as they are. This explanation is fundamental to understanding freedom, democracy, hierarchy, and internal coherence. The implementing rules are published and made available to anyone interested, provided they are authorized to view the details. If you're not involved in these activities, you won't receive all the details, but only a general summary.

New registration blackout periods.

Based on the group's decisions regarding registration periods, in collaboration with other related groups, categories, and subgroups, and with the authorization of the 5 special groups, dates will be established when new registrations of new users will be permitted, based on very detailed implementation rules, methodologies, and instructions.

Blocking periods for new activations.

Based on the group's decisions regarding the periods for new activations, in collaboration with other related groups, categories, and subgroups, and with the authorization of the 5 special groups, dates will be established when new user activations will be permitted, based on very detailed implementation rules, methodologies, and instructions.

User types available in the registration form.

The number of user types available in the registration form varies from a minimum of 1 to the type decided by the user type group in the registration form, in collaboration with other related groups, categories, and subgroups, and with the authorization of the 5 special groups.

Final rules.

Starting January 1, 2026, only one user type will be available from the start in the registration form: free. There is no annual fee, no attendance requirement, and no obligation to participate in any activities with us, except for mandatory activities, which must be completed upon first access in our reserved areas. All other user types, both lower and higher, remain valid and have identical potential, but can be obtained at a later date by all new free users who meet all the requirements, according to the implementing rules, which are all public and visible to anyone on our websites and platforms.

Unique user type.

The regulations stipulate that anyone can register only during the periods in which the registration form is visible and active, and that the personal profiles of new users are activated only during the periods in which new user activations are possible and authorized.

Registration rules.

Therefore, each individual, each new user, will be able to create a unique personal profile by filling out a single registration form with their real personal data. They can remain, if they wish and freely and autonomously set it, completely invisible, both to everyone outside our system and to everyone within it.

Registration form.

Every new user must complete a registration form to create a personal profile and join us. Access to the registration form is blocked at certain times, password-protected at other times, and only accessible by official invitation. At certain times, the registration form link is uploaded to our website: https://public.directdemocracys.org/ with a URL that changes periodically and is shared only with authorized individuals. The registration form management groups decide on a collaborative basis, with all participating groups , with the approval of the five special groups .

Anonymity.

Every new user can perform any activity within our system while remaining completely anonymous, both to all those outside our system and to all those within our system. The only exception to this anonymity requirement is the profile of an external political representative, which requires a username clearly and completely specifying their full name and surname, written in the national language, as it will be written on candidate lists in actual elections for their geographic, territorial, administrative, and electoral area.

Rules for activating new users.

The new user activation group will activate all new users, who meet all the following requirements: username, password, a personal email address, and a personal phone number. We recommend that all new users, whether free or lower-tier, request an official invitation, or at least a simple invitation, from one of our higher-tier users, or at least from one of our lower-tier users, or at least from one of our free users. This will speed up activation.

Username and password to log in.

Only users with a username and password will be activated. These usernames and passwords must be chosen and declared in the registration form by each user, in accordance with our implementation rules.

Personal email address.

Each new user must have, and enter in the registration form, a personal, adequately protected email address—not a temporary one, but a permanent one. Each personal email address must be automatically activated after completing and submitting the registration form, according to our implementation rules. Please note: external email service providers who blacklist our system will automatically activate their email addresses according to their implementation rules for similar cases.

Personal telephone number.

Each new user must have, and enter in the registration form, their own telephone number, which must be unique and will be verified according to our specific rules.

The invitations.

In our system there are 3 types of invitations: visitor invitations, simple invitations, and official invitations.

Invitations from our visitors.

Any visitor to our websites can introduce our system to others, and can even decide to invite them to join us, provided they have thoroughly informed themselves and studied all our public information with an open mind.

Simple invitation.

Our advice: although this type of invitation is possible, to stay in touch within our system with the person you want to invite, we recommend you register by creating a personal profile and then send a simple invitation from our social area via your personal profile. This link is unique for each of our users and will automatically connect the new user with the user who invited them.

Official invitation.

All our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identities, all our official members, and all our higher-level users can make official invitations, according to our rules. They can invite people from outside our system to join us. They can also invite our lower-level or free users to upgrade their personal profiles to higher-level users. In these cases, new personal profiles will not be created; the inviter's and the invitee's personal profiles will simply be linked, according to our rules. An official invitation is like any other invitation, guaranteeing the invitee's verified identity and assuming full responsibility for all activities and the invited person's behavior.

Switching from one user type to another.

Promotions and demotions are possible for each type of user, based on implementing rules.

From free user, to the next user type.

To move from a free user type to a subsequent user type, all of the following requirements are mandatory, according to the respective implementing rules: a certain period of time, a certain number of accumulated points, the number of the advance annual fee payment transaction, an official invitation from a user of the subsequent type, a request for authorization to your group of the respective user type, and to that of the subsequent type, demonstrating that you have all the requirements.

Authorizations and appointments.

After authorizing the user type management groups, the user switches from one previous user type to the next, immediately being able to perform all the activities of the new user type. The annual fee will only take effect when the old annual fee expires, with the exception of our free users, who instead use the annual fee from the moment they are officially appointed to the new, subsequent user type.

Relegation.

Any of our users, regardless of their user type, can be demoted at any time from their current user type to a previous one, based on decisions by disciplinary groups, based on decisions based on motivations based on our implementing rules.

Reasons for regressing to previous typologies.

You can lose your user type at any time, for any of the reasons specified in our implementing rules.

Expiration of the annual membership period, failure to meet any attendance requirements or to participate in certain activities with us, no longer having the points required to be part of certain user categories, or other disciplinary reasons.
