Those are some good ideas for sortition, Terry. It would be great to have a list of current assemblies or panels that are chosen by sortition, even though you say it’s too large. Or a website that would allow the user to search on all these (which means someone would have to maintain a database). I’ve tried to get something going here in Astoria OR, going through the citizens assembly consulting organization (forgot their name, but like Democracy Creative but in full business mode) here in Oregon, but it’s expensive and time-consuming. I think a mock one in the schools would be a good start. Anyway, good stuff and I can’t wait for the book to be published. The serialization is getting a little long.

Here's a list of many of them: https://www.buergerrat.de/en/citizens-assemblies/citizens-assemblies-worldwide/
Bob, there will be a CA in Bend, OR in the fall (I realize that's 5+ hours from you): https://www.bendsource.com/news/local-citizen-assemblies-to-start-in-the-fall-21391871
Thanks Liz. I’ll try to get there, or somehow follow it through friends. Thanks for the list as well!
