I told about it in the previous emails [1] and i mean it because we make decisions through consensus democracy [2][3], as opposed to another democratic systems where minority opinions can potentially be ignored by vote-winning majorities [4] or an authoritarian democracy [5]. So we could specific about our democracy variant that is consensus democracy in our clause (eg. "Parabola's community is democratic in its essence ([consensus democracy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_democracy))" or "Parabola's community is democratic in its essence through [consensus democracy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_democracy)." Otherwise, we could add another expansion in this clause or create another one about our organization. Parabola organization is adhocratic, as opposite fashion to a bureaucracy [6] and meritocracy [7]. An pessimal example of meritocracy could be the following one: "Emulatorman is maintaining all kernels for Parabola, lukeshu is developing libretools for Parabola devs and fauno is being our Parabola delegate, therefore they are the bosses here and organize the Parabola project" It is not good for Parabola and Contract Social should be specific about their adhocratic organization to clarify that all Parabola users and community are important in the Parabola project organization.
