Concrete activities for micro-groups

Every official member is required from the very beginning to apply to become our official representative, in their urban or rural area, and to immediately create a micro-group at the local level after their appointment.

To apply to become our official representative, simply fill out the form at this link (valid only after logging into our free website):

https://free.directdemocracys.org/utility/extensions/submit-ticket

as subject you will write: I request an appointment as an official representative

as a priority you can leave the normal one,

as a message you will have to write: your exact address.

The request will be evaluated by our groups associated with this activity, voted on, and the official nomination will be prepared and signed, certified on our digital signature website, and downloaded and sent as a .pdf file.

A second document will be added to the official nomination document, containing detailed instructions.

Preliminary steps for creating the micro-group.

The new official representative must search, locate, verify their identity, collect the annual official member fee (€25 if they are 31 or older, and €12.50 if they are under 31), officially invite them (according to specific implementation rules), register them with a unique link in the registration form (via a simple invitation to be connected directly), and then activate them (by requesting the group to activate new users). Then, after completing the post-activation steps (which are required upon first login) on our website, they must invite them to join the newly created micro-group. If they invite and have five official members join their micro-group (who will automatically become their administrators, and they will appoint them to the group), the official representative will be designated group manager and given the user profile of super administrator. If they invite only four official members (who will automatically become their four responsible members, and they will appoint them to the group), the official representative will be designated group manager and given the user profile of administrator. If he invites only three official members (who will automatically become his three managers, and he will appoint them to the group), the official representative will receive the title of group manager and the user type "responsible." If he invites only two official members (who will automatically become his two official representatives, and he will appoint them to the group), the official representative will receive the title of group manager and the user type "manager." If he invites only one official member (who will automatically become his official member, and he will appoint them to the group), the official representative will receive the title of group manager and the user type " official representative ." If he doesn't invite any official members to his microgroup, he will be the only official member in the group and will not have many benefits and privileges.

A brief explanation. A micro-group can consist of just one person, but as an official member, even though they are part of the group itself, they will not have five official members associated with them. The first official member to join the group, bringing at least one other official member with them, will be granted a higher role (official representative, and the official member will have the same status as the founder of the micro-group itself). In practice, of the three total members, the two new members with their respective user types—one higher than the founder, one identical to the founder—will automatically have a majority in the event of a vote (66.66%), in effect, they will "lead." Similarly, but with different, even higher percentages and with even higher user types, if three, four, five, or six people join the micro-group. Voting majorities will be even higher, and the user types will all be higher than those of the founder. Why is it best for a micro-group to consist of at least six people, but even more? Because based on invitations, 1 super administrator who invites 5 other administrators, who in turn will invite at least 5 people each (for a total of 25 new members), will make the micro-group become, based on a simple request, an official organization of DirectDemocracyS, in that specific geographical, territorial, administrative and electoral area, with many advantages and benefits.

An official organization must consist of at least 31 official members and will have user types based on the number of official members each member of the microgroup brings. For each user type within the microgroup, it must often be completed with five official members invited to the microgroup itself, to obtain the user type assigned based on the order in which they join the microgroup. If you fail to bring the five new official members connected to you into the microgroup, you will lose one user type within the microgroup for each new member you bring below the "mandatory" and recommended five.

Another explanation: Hierarchies in microgroups are automatically assigned based on when someone joins each microgroup. To become super administrator, the group's creator and founder must bring at least five people. Bringing fewer—4, 3, 2, 1, or none—will result in the loss of a user type in the microgroup, as well as potentially losing the majority of votes within the microgroup itself. The advantages of completing the five positions behind you are clear: anyone added to the group will have a lower user type only if they bring at least five official members, up to the mandatory minimum of 31 members (regardless of the user types of the official microgroup members). At that point, the microgroup will become an official organization.

Please note: this is a very important rule. To delimit urban and rural areas for microgroups of up to 1,000 inhabitants, maps can be used to draw a circle in a public area near the usual residence (at least six months a year) of the microgroup's creator and founder. The microgroup's headquarters must be located in the home or apartment of the member with the highest user type (regardless of whether they are the creator and founder of the microgroup itself or a subsequent member). The official phone number for the microgroup itself is primarily that of the member with the highest user type, and the second phone number is that of the creator and founder. Temporarily, until the microgroup has at least one super administrator, the microgroup's headquarters will be in the home or apartment of the microgroup's creator and founder (until a member has a higher user type than the microgroup's founder and creator).

Important rule. After the microgroup is created and subsequently transformed into an official organization, voting and even closed online primaries can be held within the official organization. These elections will elect both official representatives (who will manage our system in their respective urban or rural areas) and political representatives (who can be appointed based on the implementation rules for this user type). Only political representatives will be able to participate in closed online primaries, starting from the official microorganization and potentially reaching any local level, based on very detailed implementation rules. For higher levels, there are very detailed implementation rules, with specific user types, requirements, and necessary points.

Another important rule. Members of microgroups and official organizations, living in urban or rural areas near the edges of the microgroup's activity zone, but also extending from the center outward, may in turn create a new microgroup to expand the area of official representation of DirectDemocracyS "in a wildfire" outward, incorporating other spaces, all up to 1,000 inhabitants, with the same rules as before. An official member who requests appointment as official representative creates their own new microgroup and expands the urban and rural area with another 1,000 inhabitants (some of whom may be official members in both microgroups, called human bridges connecting groups). However, they must have five new members as administrators, who have never been members of the previous microgroup. These new members, in turn, must, according to the same rules as before, invite five additional official members each, also unregistered, to the first "neighboring" microgroup.

Human Bridges. All official members of microgroups in the same area will be able to participate, with a maximum official membership role, in neighboring microgroups of the same size. In these cases, they will act as human bridges connecting microgroups, allowing them to communicate, collaborate, and carry out countless activities together. They will even be able to create common groups and various potentialities with all members of neighboring microgroups, with very detailed implementation rules.

A very important tip. Before creating the microgroup, we recommend that the future creator and founder have the five official members ready, who will become its administrators. This will allow our official representative (the microgroup's creator and founder) to obtain the super administrator user type , which will allow them to join microgroups, and especially official organizations, in larger urban and rural areas with more residents, such as blocks, neighborhoods, cities, provinces, regions, states, and countries. Please remember that for each higher geographic subdivision, you will automatically lose one user type; therefore, it is always recommended to have the higher one, because you will be dragging along the administrators and other microgroup user types, who in turn will lose one user type with each move to a higher geographic area.

Creating a microgroup. Each official representative, after receiving the nomination for their area, can create a microgroup simply by choosing the group category, their country, state, region, province, city, neighborhood, street block, and all other categories. The microgroup created in the country's group category will be activated within the timeframe established by the detailed implementation rules for creating microgroups. The microgroup must be private, invisible to everyone except its members, but at the appropriate time, based on other implementation rules, it may also have a public, private, and invisible page, as well as many other public features. Further details will be provided in future informational articles.
