Official members

Official members are a superior type of user, not because of their individual qualities, but because of their demonstrated reliability, or because of the trust that many of our users, of an even higher type, place in them.

This is not a form of discrimination, because anyone who has the requirements, skills, merits, and intentions can become our official member.

Everyone knows that all official members co-own our entire system, through an individual, non-cumulative, and non-transferable action. Therefore, all official members jointly own our entire system, all our platforms, all our activities. This isn't a superficial or symbolic ownership, but a concrete, real, physical, demonstrable, and secure one.

But why make this type of user proprietary?

Because the highest levels of user experience begin with all our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identities, who together constitute our truly, completely, and forever shared leadership, in which everyone is a key player in all our decisions. Anyone invited to study and join us, and whose identity we are certain of, has the right/duty to vote—informed and therefore competent—on all possibilities and all foreseeable consequences, fully, freely, and independently, expressing themselves openly and with reason, assuming full responsibility for all consequences, everything that concerns our entire system.

Only those with a verified and guaranteed identity have the right to decide, for obvious reasons: first, to be able to vote and freely express one's preferences, in almost all civilized countries, one must first be identified. DirectDemocracyS recognizes the main identity documents in every country in the world, hoping for mutual recognition and respect.

The second reason is to be able to "blame" those who are integral to our shared leadership for the consequences of their own decisions, those of various groups, and all our major constituents. Taking full responsibility, both individual and collective, "obliges" us to make calculated choices, to always decide in the best way, always with the good and protection of the interests of the entire world population as our objectives, always starting by helping those most in need first, most, and for the longest time. This rule is not to gain more consensus and more votes for us, but because it is the most logical, common-sense, fairest, just, useful, and reliable choice, for the good of all humanity.

The third reason is to be able to identify and reward our best users. We use about 33% of all our revenue to reward our best users and our best groups in various ways.

To implement all decisions made by our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identities, using unique and inimitable rules and methodologies—thus, our grassroots—it was necessary to create a higher level of user (official members, and all subsequent higher-level user types). DirectDemocracyS perfectly, fairly, honestly , helpfully, orderly, organized, and securely accommodates two types of hierarchies. The classic one, in which the top of the "pyramid" is fair, just, and meritocratic, and holds more important roles and responsibilities. The pioneering, unique, innovative, and inimitable one, typical of our system, is where the grassroots decide, and the top of the hierarchy perpetually implements and carries out all the grassroots' decisions, by which it is managed and controlled. These two seemingly irreconcilable methodologies, however, thanks to very detailed rules, respected by all, they are optimally integrated, efficiently preventing any potential problem and avoiding, efficiently and continuously over time, any type of internal conflict.

A great help in implementing each of our rules and methodologies in the best possible way is the collective ownership rights of all our official members over our entire system. Since we all own everything, all our official members have a vested interest in ensuring everything runs smoothly, avoiding wasted time and, again, effectively preventing any potential internal conflict. Speaking of ownership, equality, and meritocracy, in our economic and financial activities, obviously, every single activity is owned by all those who propose it, discuss it, choose it, test it, vote on it, create it, implement it, manage it, and control it. In practice, individual and group percentages can vary based on the specific work, time, money, and resources invested by each person, and even each group, involved. In all our activities, of all kinds, the DirectDemocracyS system (composed of all our official members) must always hold at least 51%. However, investments and collaborations are possible, primarily internal, but in certain cases, based on detailed rules, also external, where the remaining 49% (or less, depending on the case) can be held by one or more people, or by various groups. Therefore, we want to clarify that in business, shared ownership concerns only the ownership portion of our system. This choice is to allow those with specific ideas and projects to invest and risk greater sums of their own, time, ideas, and labor, to rightfully obtain greater profits, to be shared with all those involved (members, managers, and workers), on the basis of equality and meritocracy. Just as our political representatives are managed and controlled by their voters/users, so too are our managers, who jointly manage our economic, financial, and other activities, directly controlled by our shareholders, fully informed by our specialist groups, who are in turn all our official members.

What are the reasons for this implementation, based on these rules?

Because DirectDemocracyS was not created to be for the few, but potentially for everyone, so we not only declare this property right, but we make it concrete.

Those who own a system, take care of it, work on it with greater care and passion, continuously over time, want to protect it, and want to make it better. And this applies to all our activities.

But why the name official members?

Our official members are also registered users with verified and guaranteed identities. By paying a higher annual fee, working harder and for longer, achieving more points, better tangible results, and demonstrating impeccable individual and group behavior, they jointly become owners of our entire system. They can also maintain multiple profile types, linked to their personal profile. This section on the various profile types is essential to understanding the rationale behind these rules, methodologies, and instructions.

Having greater potential, access to restricted areas, and more complete information, and, in addition to your own personal profile, one, but also, based on detailed rules on their use, all types of profiles, make all our members official, truly masters, of our entire system.

Regarding the political organization, official members are the only type of user who can request, and according to very detailed rules, obtain, a personal political profile, with their real public name and surname, and all the necessary capabilities to carry out political representation activities, to participate in our internal electoral campaigns and our closed online primaries. If successful, they will be able to participate as our political representatives and authorized candidates in electoral campaigns and real, external elections. If successful, they will represent our system and their constituents in the various institutions, advocating for the interests of the entire population, not just their own constituents, and not just our users. Obviously, as our political representatives, they will be continuously managed and monitored only by our users with verified and guaranteed identities, and exclusively by our platforms, for obvious security reasons. Alternatively, while maintaining all other activities and keeping all existing profiles active, you can decide to have a political profile, internal or external, without political representation roles outside our system, but to carry out political activities, including support and collaboration, with our political representatives, in various roles, some of which are very important.

Official members can have a system profile, meaning they have access to a wide range of activities—financial, economic, social, multimedia, even sports, and leisure activities, including volunteering—within our foundation. In this case, they gain access, if they meet all the requirements, according to detailed rules, to numerous subdomains and their related websites within our platform.

They can have many types of profiles, and can obtain, based on detailed rules, higher user types, to have more important roles, and greater responsibility in our system.

With all this potential, which increases gradually and over time, also based on the points earned, specific activities, and one's behavior, the controls also increase, not only of one's identity, but also of one's economic and financial situation, to prevent any potential problems.

Those who have nothing to hide, and those who have always been in compliance, have nothing to fear, because, although they often seem excessive and very invasive, our controls are discreet, and nothing has been, is, or will ever be made public, or shared with people, or with unreliable technologies.

Anyone can gain access to restricted areas, to more prestigious and important groups, to more detailed information, and to positions of greater responsibility and power. Therefore, as we always repeat, equality is always guaranteed, continuously and completely, but always respecting meritocracy and all our rules, methods, and instructions.

Everything was done this way, for very good reasons, and is the result of long and hard work, but also continuous integration, of ideas and projects, to ensure continuous evolution, and continuous innovation, to guarantee, forever for everyone, the best system, and the best political force, in the history of humanity.
